And the slider is unusable on mobile (Safari).
First impressions are this is buggy and not well tested.

In Microsoft's language, the tested versions, are called service packs. /s

It 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.
i guess because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39294372
Also not related to Microsoft’s discontinued database “FAST”[0]

How many times are we going to reinvent bootstrap?
Until morale improves...
As many times as it's needed!!!
Microsoft also has Fluent Design. Similar, different team.
What's the similarity to bootstrap?
That it's a design system?
That it's a design system?
Universal web widget set and layout jawn.

You and me both :/

There are already many opensource ui components / libraries like bootstrap, tailwind, chakra, material, semanticui, etc, What's fast offering that other don't?
>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.

We've been using this for 3 years and it works well, feels like not much progress has been made after layoffs though.

Nice to see the loading bar I'll be staring at in the future. What are they trying to solve with this?
Loading the components page is far from fast.

The first thing I did when I opened the page was click on "Radio 1" and "Radio 2" lights up.
Only 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.
> FAST web components are built on the core technologies of the web to work in any scenario.
Clicking it again actually does the intended behavior which made me laugh. "You're just holding the iPhone wrong"
Also clicking on the checkbox label does not check or uncheck it. Me thinks they jumped the gun on this
Sounds about right for "industry standard web components".
The most embarrassing bugs always show up right after shipping.
A 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.

Ha that's true
ROFL. I'm sorry but that's such a Microsoft thing to do.
Did you scan your computer for malware ? Have you applied all the updates ? /s

… the checkbox label is completely broken (clicking it does nothing at all)…
