I must appoligize - it is there, hidden under "Form elements" in the left menu. Kudos to the authors!

Isn't it the one from the web browser? An https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

That one is highly inconsistent, on some platforms its useless. For instance on Chrome/linux entering historic dates via the datepicker takes minutes to slowly scroll through the years. Always build your own datepicker, you know better what UX pattern will best suit your application and your users.

The motivating blog post[1] linked from the front page is probably going to generate a more interesting discussion than the framework itself. As someone who has to deal with both angular and nextjs for different (but overlapping) stacks at work, I find myself increasingly sympathetic to this viewpoint.

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.

The strangest part is the weird commenting accounts have pretty old account ages.

Perhaps stolen accounts? I doubt every user is practising good security hygiene with a unique password per each account. Password leaks from other sites might well allow a motivated individual to hijack some here.

I could speculate that someone in the past had the business mindset to create thousands of accounts over multiple sites and offers the ability to loan them out for a period of time.

This website pleases me greatly. 0 time from tap to fully loaded pages.

I don't know if you're demonstrating reductio ad absurdum, but maybe that's because they are genuine? As people in the thread have pointed out, the author as well as their company is pretty well-known in software circles. They have had multiple projects discussed on HN in the past[1]. 2000 stars is not a lot given that [2]. I fail to understand why a ton of breathless blog posts about the process of AI-assisted codin…

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.

This seems like some pretty lazy analysis to be honest.

Following the first comment you quoted...

> I love it. We need to see more of this.

...shows that the author talks about using a “Chase card abroad” in a previous comment [1], which means they cannot be Indian as Chase doesn't issue cards or have substantial operations in India.

I don't want to run around following specific comment authors back through their threads, but as an Indian by birth it is pretty hurtful to see this kind of drive-by casual characterization of an population in a space like this. It also seems to be pretty contrary to the HN guidelines (“Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.”)

Seems pretty unresponsive to me. I'm getting at least half a second of delay before the accordion, drop-down, or switch do anything. Chrome on Windows.

I have 0 delay for all parts of it. Everything loads and works instantaneously. Firefox on Android.
