Tangent but what a horrible website at least on my android. Starts as light mode, suddenly shows three streched columns, turns to dark mode and the title is hidden behind the header. After years of being around how can they end up with something like this
replyWhenever I'm bored, I go to the ant-design site to see how long it takes to find the first gross accessibility violation. This time it was the dropdown just above the fold, which wasn't keyboard controllable.
replyI bounced when I saw the three broken columns but never even saw the dark mode switch. It’s that slow.
replyCompletely broken on iOS as well. Feels like AI slop.
replyIt's existed for a lot longer than LLM generated code has
replyIt's gotten much worse than I used to remember it, though. It used to be pretty bad before too, but it at least had an ok homepage.
replyIt was always far too buggy for my liking as-is, though it’s amusing that somehow that’s become worse over time it seems
replyIt is funny that people now instinctively think of AI when encountering slop, as if the slop that the AI produces was not deeply informed by the slop it trained on. Plus, the quality bar on the web has always been low, masking the true capability of LLMs.
replyant design is a design system that the marquee title is underneath the top nav. it has at least three major fousc on mobile dark mode ios page load. both are clasic blunders documented and well solved since early bootstrap era. hardly a project worth owning “ant” in the js ecosystem.
replyapache ant (another neat tool) is from the java ecosystem (and can be used outside of it) that has largely been replaced by maven, which is gradually being replaced gradle.
this project seems to only overlap with either in that it uses javascript (or the word java).
There’s also Adam Ant. Who was also a household name.
replySome people have also heard of ants of the formicidaen variety.
Yes because those are in the same web development/javascript adjacent vertical, of course!
replyNeither is Apache Ant not Anthropic CLI yet they’re cited a lot in this discussion too.
