#83This looks really nice. However, what I really want for React is a style-agnostic component library that basically extends the regular set of HTML elements, but comes with no "visual" styling (other than really basic styling like the browser's default styling for , and the like). Only styling that is necessary for the component to function should be included. Of course, optional themes would be fine. Also, non-visual…
Styling is still "unsolved" with react IMO. Inline styles feel wrong, CSS alone isn't encapsulated enough to work with components correctly, CSS modules are TOO encapsulated which makes global styles and themes a royal pain, and adding another layer ala SASS or LESS feels like more of a "patch" vs a real solution. And none of them really solve style inheritance in any way that I'd call elegant. I end up using SASS an…
React is supposed to be the "next big thing" and yet styling is still an unsolved problem.
I'm amazed by the state of our tooling in front end web development.

#84Not to sound like a bummer here, but I'm not sure what kind of computer is needed to open this webpage. Simply scrolling up and down that website causes my computer to almost freeze. Firefox 49.0 user here. I would profile it, but I'm afraid of having to restart the computer as a result. Edit: It looks amazing. (Still the performance issue is reproducible easily)
Yeah Safari on iOS 10 has a hard time with it. The documentation page doesn't display correctly.

Thanks for pointing this out foo303! We're aware of this and tracking it: https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/108

#87I see a few comments bringing up mobile. There's already many mobile-friendly UI frameworks; not everything has to be mobile-first. Yes, in many cases it makes sense to go for a mobile-first approach, especially with consumer-facing applications. Mobile is huge and apparently it's still continuing to grow.
At the same time, there's many legitimate cases in which you want to optimize for desktop. For example: consider an IDE, where you have lots of panels and toolbars. In some cases it's unclear how you'd be able to support both desktop and mobile without significantly degrading the experience. Even Google struggles with this. How usable is Data Studio [0] on mobile? It's pretty terrible and unusable. But that's perfectly fine, because the desktop experience is great! I can't speak for others, but I can't imagine myself wanting to use a mobile device to get any work done.
Kudos to Palantir for open sourcing their UI toolkit.

#88This is very slick. It's similar to my own project http://cx.codaxy.com/docs/widgets/date-fields,
however, it seems that they went one step further.

This is what happens when you only test your web app in super fast internet on a maxed out MacBook using Chrome.
Well this site is at best sluggish in both Firefox and Chrome on a Xeon with a relatively beefy AMD GPU.
That being said the screenshots don't look so bad. The bootstrap style with lots of rounded corners and gradients doesn't really look like leading edge design, though.
