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.
- rob 8y agoDude, just stop. We're trying to read the thread and you keep coming in with novel-sized replies about nothing!
- TeMPOraL 8y agoCheck 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.)
- ratsmack 8y agoThis is why I very rarely comment... people on this site are far too sensitive.
