No Datepicker?

As pointed out in another comment, it's under the form elements, not listed as a top-level component as many UI libraries do https://oat.ink/components/#form Which actually makes sense: Oat's driving philosophy seems to be to use and enhance native controls as much as possible, and the date picker is already a native type on the input element.

But there's no enhancement here. That's just the native date picker control with a bit of styling on the textbox portion of it.

Presentation is good too. Thanks These are the kind of comments you see from Indians paid to boost Youtube content.

I'm on the other side of the planet, generally not a fan of web dev, and heartily agree with the sentiments in that comment.

Same here, DevOps by trade, allergic to ridiculous frontend nonsense, my comment praised the framework.

There’s a ton of semantic drop in css libraries similar to this. Love seeing new ones. Quality varies wildly but this site shows 50+ drop in stylesheets for those writing semantic html: https://dohliam.github.io/dropin-minimal-css/

do you have any recommendations from the list?

I tried doing something like that in my app, and quickly discovered that some modern semantic/functional tags are STILL not supported in some browsers. Or work badly.

For example, in Safari showModal for a dialog tag causes recalculating layout for EVERY element on a page, it’s up to 59x slower than chromium…. :(

But I love the idea

This site got me going. Almost had whiplash when I tapped a link and the page loaded literally instantly. I've almost forgotten that that's possible on the internet. I'm not a web dev, but I'm inspired to get into it now because of this site.

I mean you also have HN as a reference.

This is of special interest to me, because man do I hate UI frameworks with tons of external dependencies. Looking at you, Bootstrap.

I used to think bootstrap was bloated too...and then i had heard - now, i don't know if its true - that bootstrap was originally intended *ONLY* as an internal prototype building tool, and any bloat did not matter...because expected audience, usage would be totally fine for a bloated framework...When i heard, i gave boostrap more of a pass...but, then again, i stopped using it, and began using other, lighter weight frameworks...and nowadays, i so rarely touch any web stuff...and when i do its only for me so then use zero frameworks, and merely display whatever default the browser shows with zero CSS, javascript...then again, my private web page needs are so basic anyway.
