Ask HN: What happened to jQuery UI development?
jQuery UI hasn't had a release in over a year, and hasn't has a commit for 5 months straight.
Has there been any official word about the ongoing development of the project, or have developers just moved on to other things?
- oblib 9y agoI've never used it much, but my guess is that web app developers have moved on to Bootstrap and there's not a lot of them using it anymore, or, as in my case, using just a few of the features it offers which, in my case, isn't a good use of it.
- le-mark 9y agoThere are a couple of curated widget sets that bundle up and sometimes extend jquery ui. Jquery easy ui is one I used in a project last year. There’s another I don’t recall the name at the moment. I actually recommend using something like this as a learning experience. Using raw js and a lib like this is very basic, you’re exposed to a lot of issues modern framework solve for you. Also note lack of releases isn’t necessarily bad thing for mature projects. https://www.jeasyui.com https://www.jeasyui.com
