Google no longer developing Material Web Components

9to5google.com Google no longer developing Material Web Components

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

Noooo

This was like the one and only unequivocally nice and productive thing that Google did

If you fuckers take away Google Fonts next I’m gonna take a big shit outside your headquarters see if I don’t
- https://killedbygoogle.com/
- Can you imagine all those cdn fonts breaking? Times new Roman for everyone!!
  
  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.
  
  At least we have font-family: sans-serif;
- Material is flat shit
- I think Flutter (made by Google) is pretty awesome.
  
  Awesome you say? Sounds like a good candidate for being discontinued by Google.
  
  Flutter and Dart have also seen significant hits, and frankly I think they're unlikely to see significant continued improvement.
- I will have a carpenter and a plumber redo my toilet so that I will forever be shitting in their general direction.
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
pixel illustrated graphic design of things like google now > material design 1 > everything that came after it
- Do you have examples of the first one? Is this like, the designs we saw on the original Google now cards?
  
  yeah the vector illustrated google now cards :)
It sucks for people using it, but I'm glad. Material 3 is an abomination i.m.o.
Is this the same thing / related to the MUI components?
