If you really want to do it in .NET MAUI right now, you might want to create a Forms one and see if you can convert that to .NET MAUI. Then you have also learned how to do that 😄
I get that it's not ideal right now, I hope the templates that you can use for this will be there soon.
What would be useful are Cookbook examples. Flutter has them and they make things a lot easier. Most people here know now to program the just need the basics of how something is supposed to work. MSDN examples were often that way. Trying to sort this out off someone's demo app code isn't quite so easy.
