#33Extremely slow and sluggish. Ironic to have UI library's website not entice you with itself...
It is even more ironic than that, this library is seems to be a framework for building websites that showcase other UI libraries.
Due to how slow it is, it feels more like an attempt at sabotage.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
What is the definition of an engineer in your eyes? In some countries there is a legal definition, so developers are not allowed to call themselves engineers unless they have an engineering degree (and not the software kind).
It is not about my personal definition, there are even laws as you said. I just find it silly to use a definition that you typically need 4-6 years of maths heavy formal education for front end javascript that you can learn on youtube in a month.
there are even laws as you said
Not in my country..

#35This website is unusable on my mobile, a motoG42. Not the fastest phone but everything web I use it on is smooth. Magic UI.design lags and stutters even when just scrolling up and down. That tells me everything I need to know.
The page loaded fully, I waited patiently, but it ran at a very low FPS on my Surface Laptop 5 with an i7 and 16GB RAM.
It's very difficult to navigate.

#36this feels more like something for NON design engineers, ie, highly opinionated cosmetics and animations that you can just drop in. It's not a UI library such that you could design UIs with, wouldn't fit well if you have your own design systems, you actually need a UI library that this would then layer over the top of... but the perf impacts of this makes it feel more "gimmick" than a good tool for someones design toolbelt.

I'm one of those "real engineers" that studied 4-6 years of maths, and this gatekeeping feels very silly to me.
Some frontend developers are doing more actual engineering than I did when I was working as an actual electrical engineer, and I was working on buildings and shit.
Not all frontend devs, though, and certainly not the ones straight out of a bootcamp, but a lot are.
But the people building foundations for others to work on (like the target audience for this library) definitely are doing some sort of engineering.

#38The reason your website is lagging so much is because of the globe. I have reported this a while ago: https://github.com/shuding/cobe/issues/78

#39Under construction page template doesn't have an animated gif of a workman digging a hole. No flashing lights either. Hard pass.

#40Someone took the advice of not trying to hit 100 on all the lighthouse scores too seriously. This page would probably have a score of 0.
