Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper.

tried writing this blog 3 times but it’s really boring, so here’s the short version:

React won. Every mainstream f/w now implements its ideas, and developed their own ecosystems. The ones that didn’t, lost and died.

This implies there’s no _strong_ reason to not pick one of the other winners.

And here it is again Cross-Browser with a fraction of the setup.
