Sure but look at the top-level comments on here and there are words like: * "anti-pattern" * "overzealous autocorrect" * "this is everything I hate about 'modern' UI" * "I hate this idea" * "This is a weird API for what it’s trying to achieve" * "...THEN select the country..my number gets deleted... I hate you now" * "Cute, but it looks like it's trying too hard to be clever." * "Couldn't find my country for the phone number (UK). Looked for EN and UK, eventually discovered it was GB. Hard!" * "hot garbage trash" - wait whoops ... that's mine - seems to fit right in though! It actually took me a few consecutive quotes before I even found a neutral sounding "should simply be solved by browsers imho" comment. "Your response is assholish" is correct, and I will agree. However I have a visceral reaction against these anti-patterns. The web is suppose to be open, and the web is suppose to be usable by a diverse group of people (including those with disabilities). I don't care if someone built this in their "free-time", this is NOT a responsible front-end lib to use.

  Dude, just stop. We're trying to read the thread and you keep coming in with novel-sized replies about nothing!

    Check your address bar. This is HN, not Twitter. Longer-form comments here are welcome. (And it's not about nothing, it's a perfectly valid, if strong worded, criticism about a library promoting bad UX, which is unfortunately popular, and thus inflicting UX suffering on many users on the Internet.)

  This is why I very rarely comment... people on this site are far too sensitive.
