Is Material Web still in "maintenance mode" i.e. dead?

https://github.com/material-components/material-web/discussi...

So Material Design is Android only, yes?

mui.com is still around and IMO way better than this crap

TBH I don't immediately hate what they've done design-wise.

I just wish they'd support it properly...

My current work project is using the M2 iteration, I guess to have a consistent look and feel across web + Android apps.

But the closest thing to an officially supported MD component lib for web now is Angular-Material. That has some M3 support I believe.

But not useful if you don't use Angular. And notable that the "web" pages for MD point to the incomplete and not updated Web Components project instead.

It's like this massive and massively profitable company laid off the... I dunno it must only be like 1-3 people? ...who were producing this useful thing. I don't understand the reasoning.

FWIW on the 3rd party side https://www.beercss.com/ looks to be carrying the flag quite nicely (I haven't used it yet).
