anyone check if it's stegnography?


Nice idea, but if it's getting 90 million requests per day, then either there are a lot of people requesting the same message (so it's not very secret), or the few people requesting it are very forgetful (in that they have to keep re-requesting the same message multiple times per day).

I suppose the contents of the image/"message" could change every day, but presumably that would be very obvious in the edit history of that file[0], unless Wikimedia Commons were suppressing the fact that the file is constantly changing. If they are part of the conspiracy, though, you'd think they would have taken down the task from Phabricator too.

Hopefully this means a youtube music app for the versa watches.


... perhaps a new Google chat app?


just made some clips to hang banners on my shutters. Also made some cool Halloween decorations. Friends have used me as a one off manufacturer for various things too. I am a big fan of 3d printing.


Does it make sense to have a badge on each component that shows accessibility is tested on it?


If you do switch what would you switch to?


I work on Elastic's UI[1][2], which is Apache 2 licensed. We look a little different than Ant, and are more tailored to data projects and content creation since we use it for Kibana. That means we have lots of tables, autocompleters, sliders, data grids, and specialized form controls.

All of our components are built for keyboard / screenreader support and accessibility was one of our primary goals since the beginning. We take it serious and it's baked into our review process. It's fairly mature and is now two and a half years old with a solid team working on it full time. At the very least you might find some ideas for your projects. It's also TypeScript-backed and themable through a Sass layer with native dark mode support.

We welcome contributions and if there's any students out there thinking about hacking on a component library for summer of code you can find some projects over here[3].

Other projects out there similar to ours that are pretty mature are Microsoft's Fabric[4] and Atalassian's Atlas Kit[5]. Both of which are open source as well. Generally we tend to have more features, and they might be a little easier to theme or modularize. Chakra UI[6] is a new comer that is smaller, but people seem to like as well. There are a lot of options these days and most of them are tailored towards a certain use case, since it's hard to target everything.

I research this stuff a lot so if anyone has any questions about component libs give a yell.

Most of the "good" component libraries are what i'd consider to be open source for PR purposes, e.g. Atlassian's Atlaskit. You wouldn't use them unless you really want your UI to look like another company's.

I'm intrigued by Tailwind UI though, it looks like it might be the right balance between feature set and brand agnosticism.


I actually am in the process of removing antd (previous version) from my website and am not planning to upgrade to 4.0. The reason being is because you still run into the same issues as using any framework -- customizing it ends up overriding a lot of the base styles and implementations (line heights, grid, etc). Thankfully I saw this coming so a lot of the components in my app (React) are labeled as `Wrapped<ant component name>`, which I quite literally just wrap the component and add any additional props/styling that I'd like.


I'm loving Uber's Base Web for React. It has accessibility built-in. It is themeable and highly customizable due to its "overrides" feature. The project is highly active with frequent releases.

Why not Semantic-ui-react? Surprised it isn't getting more of a mention here, using it at my company and it's been fantastic.


I had to make a choice on UI framework several months back and Semantic UI looked nice, but wasn't as comprehensive as Ant. Do you use some sort of add-on to fill in the rest or do you just roll your own components in that case? E.g., I was looking for a tree component and couldn't find with Semantic UI.


check out https://github.com/dimitropoulos/react-ui-roundup for a pretty good jumping off point for a list of options to explore!
