We at Microsft used this to build apps.microsoft.com. We're quite happy with the results. Shoelace is customizable, accessible, extensible, easy to use.

- mp05 3y agoNice, that sounds like a good product! I will have a look. Thanks.
- bung 3y agoYou at Microsoft don't use Microsoft's fast.design?
- pjmlp 3y agoThey at Microsoft don't use many of the stuff that we are supposed to use, e.g. see MAUI.
- judah 3y agoAlso note, Shoelace was built by a Microsoft engineer, Cory LaViska. He left to work on Shoelace full-time[0] after it was acquired by FontAwesome. [0]: https://blog.fontawesome.com/shoelace-joins-font-awesome/ https://blog.fontawesome.com/shoelace-joins-font-awesome/
- judah 3y agoWe considered it, but Fast was missing some key components when we started building our web app.
- actionfromafar 3y agoThis is nice and all, but when I see what the big companies do, I always have this cave-at in my head - "is this one of the teams with enough resources to boil the ocean?" I.e. it's proof that Shoelace, in this case, is not inherently useless. But it's hard to get a hunch for how good it is to a mere non-corporate. Gotta give props though, the apps site is fast and slick.
- tamarlikesdata 3y agoThat's a fair point. Big companies do have the resources to go all out, but that doesn't always mean their solutions are the best fit for everyone. I think Shoelace is pretty neat because it's more approachable for folks who aren't part of those mega-teams.
