Bizarre, isn't it? The goal seems to be to rely entirely on Javascript and throw away any native OS/browser handling. If your designers/product managers are asking for that it's time to find another job.
- ryandrake 4y agoSometimes when I want to depress myself, I try to imagine the total collective engineering-hours ever wasted re-implementing standard OS or browser controls, just because a designer did not like the aesthetic choices of the OS or browser vendor. When I think back to the least intrinsically rewarding programming tasks I've ever had, they were all along the lines of "XyzOS's combo box drop-down is ugly. Here is a Photoshop of how we think a combo box should look. Go write 10K lines of code to re-implement the functionality we could otherwise get with one line."
- spookie 4y agoI totally agree with you. I guess most non-programmers would roll their eyes reading this, but honestly, stop trying to make every single web page a native app replacement. And it's nuts how far we've gone into this. Companies don't want you to run their software natively, which is fair enough. But, somehow THIS is the best anyone comes up with. It's really, quite a sad state of affairs.
