Just a nitpick, but when looking at the docs, I can't move with Page Up/Page Down unless I click in the "content column/area", kind of annoying when one navigates using the left bar and then can't move around (on no-mouse setups, e.g. trackpoint + keyboard). So you might want to look at that.
Otherwise no issues (older laptop i5/chrome), so I guess you guys mostly fixed that by now.

Good catch, we'll take a look at this. I've filed an issue to track it [0].

hi,
I really like blueprint! Although I think it's a bit ambiguous in the documentation that there are some elements under 'components' which are not react componentsp per se. You are referring to this as they have a 'CSS API' (like navbar). It' not a big deal but if you are doing a react app it's good to have an overview of the actual building blocks. Maybe they should be under another section?

Hi! I'm not a web developer, I work on server side, native mobile and desktop, but I'm very impressed with your framework and want to give it a try for creating UIs. What I really don't like about web development is it's overcomplicated approach to laying out the elements. Do you have any kind of layout helpers in your framework?

Thanks for the kind words achikin! Blueprint doesn't include anything to simplify layout. However, if you're able to only support relatively modern browsers, flexbox [0] is a great CSS feature that really makes layout easier. If you're looking for something like the traditional CSS library grid, you can always grab it from a different library, like PureCSS [1], and use it side by side with Blueprint.

This might be a little bit outside Blueprint, but, I cannot not take the opportunity to ask - how is the reactions internally at Palantir now when the chairman and co-founder now also is part of the Trump transition team?
Just a note - we didn't intend to heavily publicize the project quite yet. For example, the docs site is still a WIP, so apologies if it causes issues for you on mobile devices.
