I was wondering if someone who is good at JS can compare this to BluePrint[1]?

BluePrint is a great UI toolkit. Ant Design is not only a UI toolkit, it's a design guideline which likes Material[1] and antd[2] it a official implement of Ant Design.

Blueprint is meant for desktop applications. For example, Electron apps. You'll notice Blueprint tries to give that desktop app feel, versus Antd, which does not.


It isn't, according to their own words[0], they've never used Blueprint in an Electron (or other desktop) app.

I believe they meant desktop-feel as opposed to mobile first (mostly because some consider Material to be a mobile-first decision). Additional Note: Blueprint doesn't go out of it's way to degrade nicely for mobile screen sizes for most components and doesn't provide the grid layout or progressive embeds typically associated with mobile-friendly UI libraries.


I don't know, i think antd is easily suitable for desktop-like applications: http://i.imgur.com/5WN5WHE.jpg


BluePrint is a joke compare to this. Palantir can't create a landing page without crashing my browser.


I believe they fixed that. However, either way, I appreciate the contribution of Palantir. Really do not think it is good to ridicule the company for open sourcing their tech.


Would like a comparison to Blueprint that doesn't include the project's landing page.
