I was wondering if someone who is good at JS can compare this to BluePrint[1]? [1] https://github.com/palantir/blueprint

BluePrint is a joke compare to this. Palantir can't create a landing page without crashing my browser.

Would like a comparison to Blueprint that doesn't include the project's landing page.

a11y optimization is in progress, but it is not a high priority job.

I can certainly say that I’m flatly not going to use something that fails at keyboard usability like this, because I myself would hate to use it.

Yeah. I second this. Having non-obvious focus state is a deal-breaker. Obviously, it can be manually added in via CSS overrides on top of this library, but it would be nice for the library itself to have decent focus states.

Large library, I particularly liked the @mention component, first time i see a library providing that.

There was react wyswyg editor with this function couple of weeks ago here at HN. Was looking for it too. ( https://github.com/jpuri/react-draft-wysiwyg https://jpuri.github.io/react-draft-wysiwyg/#/demo?_k=fws8cj - look for editor with mentions)

That editor doesn't allow editing on mobile Safari (iPad). All the examples are non-functional and some are visually broken as well.

It's a weak abstraction with maybe hundreds of nested dependencies and many compile steps. A lot of things that can go wrong ... Just to do this: Hello world

"Just" To "just" use self contained, configurable, property-defined components that can be shared, re-used, filled with state - that isn't trivial. Which is why they're React components. The components themselves are very lean, there's a bit of code, some markup, a piece of CSS and that's that. The code i have linked compiles down to a couple of bytes.

I do not understand the problem with vanilla HTML and JavaScript. I've been doing it for 18 years so I might be "blind".

This stuff is horrible to use from the keyboard visually, because outlines have been removed without an adequate replacement. Please fix the styles for :focus et al. Make it all obvious, like Microsoft have done in Windows 10 (they have what is pretty much just a 2px solid black outline).

Blueprint is another React UI kit that was posted here recently. They have interesting focus management feature where focus outlines are _only_ shown when navigating via keyboard. This is a nice balance since those active focus outlines can be obnoxious/annoying when _not_ using keyboard navigation.
