Today, I moved ahead with a task to remove dependencies on Google Material Components and Icons from #hackercamp Donut web app. I'm not done yet, but 600KB gzipped from the whole site is down. Same or better functionality with https://open-props-ui.netlify.app/ and https://feathericons.com/ and site specific styles. #MaterialDesign #MaterialWeb #OpenProps #FeathersIcons #WebPerf #IndieWeb
Main reasons for the move?
1. I don't want to be dependent on BigTech
2. Material Web is abandonware
3. I want to use less code for better results. Always
