Google is "no longer actively staffing" Material Web Components (MWC) and has "reassigned the engineers working" on it...

        Only $4.85 per month (non commercial; otherwise contact us for enterprise pricing) if you want to keep it working. Very reasonable. Bulk discounts for multiple fonts. Sign up today.

          If they remembered to set that default. But I guess they deserve to be punished if they didn’t.

      I think Flutter (made by Google) is pretty awesome.

        Awesome you say? Sounds like a good candidate for being discontinued by Google.

            Too late, the clock is already ticking. We only need to count the years after the fact when it hits Google Graveyard

        Flutter and Dart have also seen significant hits, and frankly I think they’re unlikely to see significant continued improvement.

          What kind of hits? I haven’t heard anything.

          In fact, they just released a video a month ago detailing some of the areas they’re working on, including dart macros, their new impeller engine, performance updates for the web platform, and more.

            Hmm. I recalled a story from 2 or 3 months ago about them having laid off the Flutter and Dart team. Looking at it more closely it looks like the story was actually just that they had laid off some staff from that team.

    MWC is not deprecated or going away, but Material Design is no longer actively staffing its development.

    I’m skeptical.

      I wonder what they consider deprecated.

      I can’t wait for material design to fully die. One of the ugliest design trends

      Do you have examples of the first one? Is this like, the designs we saw on the original Google now cards?

          I feel this. I strongly associate that design language they had with my studies.

          Very sunny and relatively care free 😅

    Pretty sure I only actually saw it being used by Google anyways. I love it for native applications on Android, but couldn’t care less about it on the web.
