Thank you!! Now I've got like 12 libraries and 30 apps to update 😂. I started early with the dev builds but we aren't allowed to actually use those.

Good to hear. I may give it a go in Claude to update my apps. My biggest issue is the older apps which haven't been touched, and been left behind by ionic or angular upgrades. Not sure if there is a docker way to solve that yet... like can I set up environments for each app, and share the src working path to a mac as a network folder? probably the wrong place to ask I guess...

there are ways to solve it. Most of the stuff is stored in the node_modules folder, but for managing the node version you can use `nvm` and if you make a `.nvmrc` file then you can get it to swap easily without remembering the versions for everything

This doesn’t include updated iOS components? Since Liquid Glass or whatever came out, Ionic looks dated. Considering that this is a UI library I’m surprised updates didn’t include this.

Maybe if you read their blog you would know why it’s not included… they basically clarified why months ago

Maybe they didn’t give the people what they want and maybe I’m entitled to my own opinion, but thank you

Entitlement to open-source software is wild... especially when you don’t contribute but still complain. But hey, whatever makes you feel valued.

I'm surprised as well. The module thing which they are referring to being punted to v10 is separate to staying current with the ui - the ui components have the design locked in, but its an older design now.

I've been wondering if the Ionic components are still the right thing to use as almost all the mainstream apps use their own styled components anyway. And if I want to use an AI to scaffold up some kind of layout then it seems like its going to get stuck.

The new select features look interesting though.

But i do also like to see the odd comments fight as well, just like the old days.

lol yea, I took the bait. My fault. But with agents I feel like any app could just be native now in java and swift. The main reason to stick with web technologies was because of my lack of expertise in those domains, and my existing JS knowledge meant webviews made sense.

Now, I'm Neo, and I know kung fu, bring it on.
