- wvenable 3y agoIt looks like in 4 years nothing much has come of this. Although I've never heard of it before now, I still wonder why it was posted today.
- croisillon 3y agoi guess because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39294372 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39294372
- WatchDog 3y agoAlso not related to Microsoft’s discontinued database “FAST”[0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Development_Center_Norway https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Development_Center...
- dunham 3y agoThe first thing I did when I opened the page was click on "Radio 1" and "Radio 2" lights up.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoThe most embarrassing bugs always show up right after shipping.
- Kluggy 3y agoA QA engineer walks into a bar and orders a beer. They order 2 beers. They order 0 beers. They order -1 beers. They order a lizard. They order a NULLPTR. They try to leave without paying. Satisfied, they declare the bar ready for business. The first customer comes in an orders a beer. They finish their drink, and then ask where the bathroom is. The bar explodes.
- Solvency 3y agoThis shipped 4 years ago. What's the excuse now?
- hulitu 3y agoYou did not enable automatic updates. /s
- giancarlostoro 3y agoClicking it again actually does the intended behavior which made me laugh. "You're just holding the iPhone wrong"
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoSounds about right for "industry standard web components".
- paulddraper 3y agoHa that's true
- nullgeo 3y agoAlso clicking on the checkbox label does not check or uncheck it. Me thinks they jumped the gun on this
- Zelphyr 3y agoROFL. I'm sorry but that's such a Microsoft thing to do.
- baobun 3y agoOnly after enabling JS was I able to get anything else than a blank page and read the following: > FAST web components are built on the core technologies of the web to work in any scenario.
- hulitu 3y agoDid you scan your computer for malware ? Have you applied all the updates ? /s This is Microsoft's response to bug reports.
- deathanatos 3y agoClicking "Radio 1" selects Radio 2… … the checkbox label is completely broken (clicking it does nothing at all)…
- xela79 3y agowhat browser? works fine in Chrome
- joshstrange 3y agoAnd the slider is unusable on mobile (Safari). First impressions are this is buggy and not well tested.
- hulitu 3y agoIn Microsoft's language, the tested versions, are called service packs. /s

- mdgrech23 3y agoI wish. I'm kind of a MS hater and rather they didn't succeed but between Github, VSCode, TypeScript, ChatGPT they're killing it.
- Zelphyr 3y agoAnything they acquire and leave alone seems to do well (like those projects you list) everything else is almost comically bad. Made worse by the absolutely atrocious support that they've outsourced to Tata Consultancy.
- DarmokJalad1701 3y agoWhere did they acquire VScode from?
- tauchunfall 3y agoThey "acquired" Erich Gamma and let him build Visual Studio Code with his team in Switzerland.
- paulddraper 3y ago* TypeScript is eating JS * StackOverflow ranked VSCode is as #1 popular IDE. * And #2 is Visual Studio. * GitHub maintains absolute dominance. * Azure ended Q4 as the fastest growing cloud * ChatGPT owns AI Microsoft is clearly going nowhere /s
- timeon 3y agoHow is this relevant here? That radio button is broken.

- paulddraper 3y ago> While we are eagerly awaiting React to fully support custom elements... You and me both :/
- ok123456 3y agoHow many times are we going to reinvent bootstrap?
- oluwie 3y agoAs many times as it's needed!!!
- paulddraper 3y agoWhat's the similarity to bootstrap? That it's a design system?
- ok123456 3y agoUniversal web widget set and layout jawn.
- sebazzz 3y agoMicrosoft also has Fluent Design. Similar, different team.
- ibejoeb 3y agoUntil morale improves...

- namegulf 3y agoThere are already many opensource ui components / libraries like bootstrap, tailwind, chakra, material, semanticui, etc, What's fast offering that other don't?
- tauchunfall 3y ago>What's fast offering that other don't? When you go to the page: - first line: "Adaptive..." - second line: "The adaptive..." - third line: "...adapt..." Then the next block: - "flexible and adaptable" >FAST provides an innovative theming system called Adaptive UI, which builds design system properties that designers use every day directly into every component. Then the next block is an example where you can change neutral color, accent color, saturation, border radius, stroke width and density of all components in a frame on the fly. >like bootstrap, tailwind, chakra, material, semanticui, In order to adapt all components you have to - in bootstrap edit SCSS variables - in tailwind edit tailwind.config.js and probably use CSS variables for the utility classes you use - in chakra override global CSS styles in the style object - in material v3 define your own baseline and dynamic color schemes - in semantic UI override CSS in your theme.config. But it seems only tailwind with CSS variables allows to change styles on-the-fly, i.e. more than just toggle between light and dark mode. *edit:* formatting
- CommanderData 3y agoLoading the components page is far from fast.
- CuddleBunny 3y agoWe've been using this for 3 years and it works well, feels like not much progress has been made after layoffs though.
- timnetworks 3y agoNice to see the loading bar I'll be staring at in the future. What are they trying to solve with this?
