FYI Bloom is already a language, but it's remote enough that you probably shouldn't care:

http://bloom-lang.net/index.html

It's old, never got to 1.0 and, yes, that's an 'http' without the 's' - positively antediluvian, so don't go near it unless you have a very big ark.

TIL!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Never heard of shadcn or franken-ui, but they look identical, one links to X (Twitter), the other to Mastodon. What's the story there?

Franken UI is an HTML-first, open-source library of UI components based on the utility-first Tailwind CSS with UIkit 3 compatibility. The design is based on shadcn/ui ported to be framework-agnostic.

Thank you. As weird as it can be, I came here looking exactly for an HTML-first option and had a gut feel that I would find it in the comments!

Thanks again!!

Nicely done. I do wish that there would be more opinionated component libraries. Every library still has the "bootstrap" style or nowadays every library has the shadcn style.

Originality is very important to cultivate in the design world as that can in the future save us from herd like thinking that we say in the flat design apocalypse, for example.

Love this! We started on this path over the last two years of something like this (a component system but also combines a standard behavior for "data sources" so that a table or pagination can just automatically read and modify this datasource).

We named it LiveElements and have always wanted to open source it, but it's just not at all clean enough to be put in a state where I'd like others to use it.

Our datasource concept is similar to what fop does (and over time, we'd like to look at migrating over to just use fop since it has been around long enough, and we don't want to have our bespoke datasource stuff).

But we haven't had the bandwidth to clean up and document it yet.

Same with a richer forms engine we've been building where you can just have a compose a type "markdown" which includes changeset validations for markdown formatting, etc.

Or a texture of type "SMS" which gives you a character count and looks at the unicode to see how many SMS segments would be used when authoring an SMS message (which is specific to our app but no reason why others can't benefit)

Good graphing and calendaring controls would be amazing and useful. We still resort to JS for that stuff We could probably hack together something that outputs direct SVG when given data and chart details

Good to look at Keno and what the vega-lite team has done to "standardize" on a format and use that. (for graphs)

That's what we did. We really should consider open sourcing our stuff, it's just too ugly at the moment.
