I'm betting on HTML

>You can style a lot of these native elements. And where you cannot, I'd argue that's actually good. I've worked with designers who insisted that everything looked and feeled the way they had designed it. But I've also worked with designers who, when showed how the date-picker looked on IOS, OSX and even Gnome, were incredibly happy that finally there was design that just followed what the users were used to.

The native browser date picker is very limited. You can't do basic things like disable weekends or select a range making it unsuitable for a wide swath of usecases.

>Point being: it will vary. But I'm certain we need all these JS UI-frameworks like MUI far less than we use them. I'm certain plain-old HTML, CSS and a little JS suffices far more often than it's currently used.

These UI frameworks are just plain-old HTML, CSS, and a little JS. All conveniently built for you to easy build a site that looks pretty good and covers most UX needs.

>This anecdote was a "pixel perfect" HTML version of some figma design. I did some CSS tricks to style the `` and was lucky the designer was lazy and never specified the styles of all the dialogs around date/time pickers (they weren't that important anyway).

If you had used MUI you wouldn't have had to do CSS tricks and if it's using a small fraction of MUI then treeshaking will result in a negligible amount of JS/CSS sent over the wire. So no real performance gain, harder for the next engineer, and no great path forward if the UI needs to be snazzier. It's just worse all around than picking one of the well known frameworks.

My bad, seems like the metric system is an old thing:

Original Text

Grammar checkers are essentially typo checkers and are not context aware to be truly grammar checkers. Context aware grammar checking means the program has to consider each line of text and identify grammar mistakes. As traditional grammar checkers check typos in real time, every mistake you do is flashed in front of you. You have to stop evaluate, fix and continue. This is distracting.

My solution is to get your thoughts immediately out of your head in a big chunk. Check the grammar of that chunk of text in a single button press wait a few seconds and then just paste the text.

The tone shift is good in technical writing, but in forum style communication it kinda dehumanizes the comment. But it is not a major thing.

I use grammarly pro, but I find this solution to be extremely robust as this solution is platform and software agnostic. Like writing in my text editor - LiteXL.

Please feel free to give this method a shot for a week.

Grammar Checker with ChatGPT

Grammar checkers are essentially typo checkers and are not context aware enough to be considered truly accurate grammar checkers. Context aware grammar checking requires the program to analyze each line of text and identify grammar mistakes accordingly. Traditional grammar checkers usually highlight typos in real-time, which means that every mistake made is immediately brought to your attention. Consequently, you are forced to pause, evaluate the error, correct it, and then resume your writing, creating a distracting workflow.

My solution is to encourage you to initially get your thoughts out onto the page without worrying about the grammar. In this approach, you can check the grammar of the entire chunk of text with a single button press, wait a few seconds, and then conveniently paste the corrected text.

The tone shift is acceptable and even beneficial in technical writing; however, in forum-style communication, it can somewhat dehumanize the comment. Nonetheless, this is not considered a major issue.

Although I personally use Grammarly Pro, I find this solution to be highly effective as it does not depend on any specific platform or software. For instance, I can comfortably write in my text editor, LiteXL.

Part of the slow adoption of ultra modern HTML tags might be that the divorce from Internet Explorer 6 to 10 finished so recently that no one has bothered to update their knowledge yet. In my corporate environment, IE 11 was removed only last year.

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned WhatsApp. In my country in Africa WhatsApp is so popular so much so that mobile network providers even sell WhatsApp data bundles. If I want to find something, like wire fencing I start by asking WhatsApp groups I am in. Family, neighborhood and even high school friends. Typically I get a few numbers and then I WhatsApp the service provider and I get up to date information. The service providers can't afford up to date web sites. WhatsApp also has a feature to include a catalogue in your profile. This is for business accounts which are also free.
