I hope you enjoy it. If you do, the best thing you can do to help make sure we can do these going forward in perpetuity is to subscribe to DailyDrip or tell a friend about us that might be interested. :heart:
Elm-mdl is a port of Google’s Material Design Lite to elm. It leverages Google’s CSS, but re-implements JavaScript parts in Elm. In the talk, I'll talk about the major obstacles we had to overcome, from finding a suitable API to working around Elm’s sometimes missing support for DOM manipulations. We'll see that in most cases there is a solution in Pure Elm, without native and ports.
