downshift 🏎 VS carbon-components-svelte

I'm curious why there's been a recent downward trend for the downshift package. Here's the source npm trends

I recently searched for a robust, high-quality, aria conform multi-select dropdown in vanilla js. For React there is react-select or downshift, each with millions of downloads. I couldn't find a good equivalent in vanilla.

The concept is not new, it's been discussed and implemented for a couple of years, I first heard of it when Adam Watham, creator of Tailwind CSS, and its team launched Headless UI libraries like downshift by Kent Dodds also used this pattern, just to mention a couple of cases.

I think `downshift` could be considered as the best react-select alternative if you are looking to have more fine-grained control over your component or are looking for a smaller bundle size.

Downshift looks better IMO, with hooks with less "fake" hierarchy.. https://github.com/downshift-js/downshift

There's also Downshift, but you have to build your own UI: https://github.com/downshift-js/downshift

We did a pretty big one, integrated with a python/gtk app [yikes]. Anyways, svelte is a joy to work with, also on the note of libraries, svelte's community is smaller but I found by far my favourite component system I've ever used - https://carbon-components-svelte.onrender.com/.. surprising coming from IBM, but hey, I'll take it.

But in general electron was a pain, slow builds - had an adhoc solution for the svelte dev server, but its not great.

https://carbon-components-svelte.onrender.com/ maybe this is something for you.

I really liked Carbon Components Svelte but they lacked mobile support. I will have to check Framework7 .

If you need something with a bit more functionality out of the box, I'd recommend -Carbon Components (https://carbon-components-svelte.onrender.com) -Skeleton(https://www.skeleton.dev)

Svelte/SvelteKit does have some high-quality libraries available like carbon-components-svelte but there's just nothing near as much.

I've opened issue on IBM community to find a solution rather than importing via , although I could not even get any answer to that . After sometime of scratching my head and couple of tests on Webpack behaviour, I've managed to crack carbon-design-system for Svelte once and for all . Repeating myself:
