I always wondered what org was behind the Ant Design React UI framework.
- cfontes 6y agoI also did, Ant Design is pretty good, I was sure it was some major company but that explains it...

- radihuq 6y agoMy first thought as well
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI started with it in a new project once, but wasn't allowed to use it because of its Chinese origins, :/
- bbaumgar 6y agoWe are in the process of transitioning off it because of those same Chinese origins... probably justified but it's a painful process.
- sojournerc 6y agoI'm curious why you feel it's justified? I use it and haven't had any reason to be suspicious. It's open source and MIT licensed.
- nogabebop23 6y agoAlso really good, even if you need to get past the default stylings and behaviours. They have continually moved upstream beyond basic components into more enterprise patterns that are as useful IMO if you need specialization but great for getting started (ex: login workflows, portals)
- sojournerc 6y agoYeah, I absolutely love the consistency and ease of customization. Typescript integration is great as well. I just wish I could read the comments in source sometimes. I like that AntD has a more 'enterprise' feel than other component libs that tend to be based on material design.
- scaladev 6y agoJesus Christ. This is the Red Scare all over again.
- scaladev 6y agoI wrote a comment pointing out the lunacy of this situation, and it got flagged almost immediately. Do you also refuse to use the Linux kernel? It's got plenty of that dirty Chinese code these days. I see @huawei.com and others on LKML all the time. The history repeats itself endlessly.
- sudosysgen 6y ago"History repeats itself twice. First as a tragedy, then as a farce."
- abc-xyz 6y agoThe history repeating itself is the world’s inability and unwillingness to make sacrifices to stop China, similar to what we saw with Nazi Germany.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe world's unwillingness to do so boils down to two reasons. Firstly, all of the proposed courses of action involve giving more power to the US, which shall I remind you, kills millions of people in wars like it's nothing. It's not clear at all that decreasing China's power but increasing that of the US will do any good to anyone. Just in Iraq, the US killed more people than anyone accuses China of imprisoning illegitimately. So unless you can find a way to reduce China's power without also increasing that of the US, no one outside of those under US propaganda or interest will want to do much of anything. Secondly, China is a nuclear armed country. Intervening in their domestic affairs is not easily done. Finally, comparing the CCP to the NSDAP is frankly absurd. They are not comparable. The Nazi party wanted to kill around a third of the world's population and enslave another third. The CCP is accused, at worst, to be trying to change the culture of one of their provinces using inhumane tactics and torture, which sadly is just par for the course for the world in general.
- nogabebop23 6y agoI evaluated it for our company a few years ago (the entire Ant design system, not just React UI Components) and although everyone had heard of Alibaba few knew about Ant Financial (now the Ant Group) even though it's absolutely massive. Funny how our 2 leading candidates, AntDesign and BluePrint, both come from less than "ideal" companies with similar baggage, though from opposite sides of the spectrum!
