Re: Aurelia UX
#2Interesting project...seems like the main competitor here is Ionic? Not sure how to go about identifying and comparing the strengths/weaknesses, but that should come with some time.
Hope this is captured somewhere else, and not just buried in this article...

After careful consideration and review, we realized that AI was going in the wrong direction and didn't have the versatility or the proper architecture to handle our vision of a UX Framework. With Aurelia UX, we're rebooting our efforts.

#3Well, if they can somehow make Cordova less awfully terrible from a UX perspective, more power to them. I'm not holding my breath, though.
Re: Aurelia UX
#4I wonder how Aurelia's style encapsulation is different from Shadow DOM, or how CSS databinding is different from CSS custom variables.
You can already use media queries + CSS custom variables today to do pretty powerful script-free responsive layouts: https://github.com/PolymerElements/app-layout/tree/master/ap...

What's AI in this context? Aurelia I..?
Re: Aurelia UX
#6Our team has been using Aurelia for many months. While it has some cool features, there are plenty of gotchas that add a lot of overhead. Weeks spent on features that had to be reworked due to edge cases in DI, for example, or relying on some of the non-core packages.
It's interesting stuff, but don't jump into it expecting to run at full speed without tripping a few times along the way.

Updated post to clarify - Aurelia Interface - their (formerly) commercial UI components.

#8Having never heard of Aurelia before, I was curious how this compared to React and found this interview with the creator/lead, Rob Eisenberg, with his thoughts:

Also includes his comparison to Angular.

Both Ionic and OnsenUI do a pretty good job

I have the same experience, We have been using it for months and I cannot say that we are happy. A lot of bugs, a lot of missing documentation, a lot of bloat, and some bad breaking changes. It seems to me that the Aurelia team wants to do too many thing at once, and cannot deliver to the standards that other framework provide.
It's sad because the underlying ideas are good. It is in many ways similar to Vue.js, which is very good. To readers considering Aurelia I would suggest trying Vue as well, or wait until Aurelia is more mature.
