Hey, Brick project member here. Completely agreed, the styling for these components is not where it needs to be. We're a small team that works in the open, and like to ship.
I'm a big fan of "ship early, ship often", but you have to set expectations properly. If something is not ready for prime time, you should signal that. Call it v 0.7, say it's a beta, label it as a "labs" product. Say up front where the known weaknesses are, and say what audience you want.
I also strongly recommend working with a small, carefully selected audience to begin with. Typically only a small percentage of your eventual audience will put up with the rough edges of a work in progress. Getting the average audience member involved early on is frustrating for both sides. You get a lot of feedback on things you a) already know about, and b) are intentionally avoiding for now. And they waste a bunch of time on stuff that wasn't intended for them.
Yeah. http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2014/09/professional-transiti... "It’s a little hard to tell – I guess we didn’t actually shutter anything, and though it was announced internally it is entirely unclear externally. But Mozilla Labs is definitely shut down."
The "Brick 2.0" version number says otherwise. I agree with the parent post. Version numbers say a lot about waht a user can expect. They should change this to 0.2.
It looks like the library is pre-pended with a bunch of brick elements, based off its Minimal-markup Web Components.
They really do a bad job of explaining this on their brick page as right now, looking at it you'd assume its just yet-another-front-end-framework. Its not compelling (yet), but still of interesting.
