Did the concept of atomic design never take off? A few years ago i remember various css and js bundles spawned around Brad Frost’s atomic design movement but i don’t recall any of them lately being on HN. It’s a shame if they’re not making the grade, i thought the idea of composable UI elements sounded spot on.

I'm using FAST as a foundation for my atomic design revolution at my job. I'm gaining much traction!

> fast-anchor is a web component implementation of an HTML anchor element. Wait, what.... WHY? Can't you just use an a tag?

I was equally confused by fast-divider. I wonder what the rationale behind these were?

The primary reasons seem to be encapsulating accessibility and styles. There is nothing forcing you to use fast-anchor or divider. The theme is exposed in CSS vars so you can use it from a stylesheet on native elements.

I was looking at the code it looks optimized, will do a couple of tests later maybe combining this as the main webcomponent controller with something like tailwind css makes sense, but just using this plain look and feel I don't think it's viable at this moment but it's a good structural start I would say. Was looking forward to do this with lit so maybe I might test this and see how the code looks, from a code outpu…

I'm using FAST with the design system props mapped to Tailwind config for my Blazor app team. This lets them consume the awesomeness without writing JS.

That is a great idea and usage. I was thinking about a Blazor setup.. but I will think more about the approach first. I think in a very near future a Fast-Tailwind repo will arrise.

How I would do that in Sciter: fast.css : fast-something { // custom element aspect: FastSomething; // its function-controller display:block; } script: function FastSomething() { // note JSX is built-in in Sciter this.content( Hello World ); } and markup: Easy, no?

I love Sciter and it is pretty amazing for what it does, but I still wouldn’t use it to share internal web component libraries within my own company, never mind some other 3rd party. Sciter unfortunately uses it’s own dialect of JavaScript and CSS which might not be compliant with browser JavaScript engines. I really wish Sciter would move to some other commonly used JS engine and get rid of TIScript, then I would be…

Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Sciter is not a browser engine nor it tries to sell itself as a browser engine light. Sciter just happens to use dialects that are similar to CSS and JS sort of what XAML is to WPF or what QML is to QT.
