AMP is a standard with a single implementation, controlled by the same company.
That's as useful as a standard as Microsoft Office's formats.
If you want to use an independent AMP implementation, Google refuses to give you any of the AMP ranking benefits.
- d4l3k 9y agoIt's a little bit more useful than Microsoft Office's formats since it's actually well documented, and isn't prone to arbitrarily changing without notice. Since it's developed out in the open, there will plenty of notice before any breaking changes. The alternative implementation issue is a fair point, but doesn't seem like that's an issue for most people. I haven't seen any technical criticisms of the amp library.

This is more than can be said for AMP. [1] https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ec...
