Yeah the SEO for Angular is honestly a nightmare.

I can't search Angular since then I get AngularJS (Angular 1) results even though the current iteration of the framework is called Angular. I can't search Angular 4 to filter Angular 1 out since not many articles are labeled with Angular 4 yet. I can't search for Angular 2 since new articles for Angular 4 are not going to be labeled with Angular 2, and searching for Angular 2 includes tons of useless media about Angular at various stages of release candidate.

/rant but I guess most of the time I'm just reading the Angular docs anyways.

I agree that skepticism is important, but this is honestly really straightforward if you've been following the development and community discussion. IMO the Angular team made it rather clear why they were skipping the 3rd increment (router package was on 3 and they wanted all of the packages to be at the same increment) and that upgrading version numbers was just semantic versioning and not releasing of a new framework like Angular 1 to 2 was. There were also a few popular articles explaining that no one should be freaking out over the 2 to 4 change and a lot of discussion on HN.

So at this point, a few months into Angular 4, it's simply wrong to make the comment that the OP made.

Angular 2 to Angular 4 is not a good example of getting comfortable using something then the next version coming out. They are the same framework and it is trivial to upgrade Angular 2 to Angular 4. "Updating to 4 is as easy as updating your Angular dependencies to the latest version, and double checking if you want animations. This will work for most use cases." from https://angularjs.blogspot.com/2017/03/angular-400-now-avail...

Angular 1 to Angular 2/4 is a valid argument though.

water42 | 9 years ago | on: A movie that hasn't aired yet has 5.5 on IMDB out of 129k reviews

For those who don't understand the negative reviews, this is an attempt at subversion by Turkish Armenian Genocide deniers to continue a campaign of suppressing any medium that goes against their narrative.

Sadly, the campaign is working. In a time where we are as interconnected as we are, a political film with tens of thousands of fake reviews should send out a huge red flag: someone doesn't want this movie to be seen. However the reality is that not many people are even aware there are so many fake reviews. The mainstream media is not covering this issue. IMDB has not responded. I'm not sure why this is, but can guess that it's related to the subject not being newsworthy & risk of harm with Turkish relations (i.e. why the U.S. refuses to officially acknowledge the genocide).

Many people are going to visit the ratings page before deciding to watch the film, and of those some will decide it's not worth their time because of the overwhelmingly negative score.

Do you have any proof of this? I haven't heard this before and they certainly have an active enough community to push things to the r/all quickly.

Thanks for the quick reply!

It would definitely be useful to publish the research behind the design choices you've made. As a developer with not a lot of design experience that's something I would be interested in.

what do you mean by this? you can create a component for any one of their html/css components with custom functionality and "plain html" (it's not really plain since it has two way data binding), then use and reuse that component like any other

Hi Clarity team,

What would you say the primary motivation in switching from material2 or ng2-bootstrap to clarity would be? At my work we have an Angular 2 app still in development and have been rather dissatisfied with the available component libraries so far. We're at a point where it wouldn't be unreasonable to switch UI frameworks.

Additionally it looks like you have only implemented some of the material design spec. What was the reason for this / why not go full material?
