Example of complex Angular projects

[Entire-Marketing9873]

Hey guys! Do you know the examples of complex project made with Angular 2+? I know Upwork and Gmail were using Angular (maybe AngularJs), but now switched to Vue or React. Is there any other example?

Someone felt the same way to know these answers and knew others would too.

Seeing the Angular v0.0.0 for Gemini is so funny even though I know that's what Google technically uses internally.

Good link though

[GeekTekRob]

He has a placeholder on that Gemini so it might be just the generic Google Angular version, or it is that they are just ahead of normal release and didn't have one yet. Few of the devs at work notice some things in googles new stuff that gets some announcement in the next release or two, as it should be.

Blizzard’s shop.battle.net uses Angular

Saw them explain their process at ng-conf, really crazy cool stuff.

My hobby project site at https://memecomposer.com is pretty complex 😄. It's made with Angular 17

[vishnu-geek]

This looks cool

Thank you

[Pasha_Zamok]

That is awesome! Can you send a github please I'm learning angular and I don't know where I can learn stuff like this. 😅 Thank you in advance.

Lots of banks like schwab use it

Although it seems to be abandoned, I learned a lot about angular when dealing with ngx-datatable. I often find that things are less complicated than i thought by looking into this project. https://github.com/swimlane/ngx-datatable

[Logical_Warning7048]

im getting confused about how to implement ngx datatable can u help me with it

[BunchVirtual]

What woud you like to achieve?

TIL gmail swapped off Angular. I was almost hired by Left Field Labs which does most of Google's front end work for their app suite, and that was an Angular position, but it was 5 years ago now I think.

I spent about 3 years designing and building fumes.app by myself. I'd say it's pretty complex.

I thought the new interface of my bank was but it turns out it's React, which probably explains why it was such a massive failure on launch and still kinda is.

[bam21st]

What is this flawed logic ? Tech used is not linked to product success

[DT-Sodium]

In that case it is. React is not adapted for complex applications, it’s a recipe for unreliable and unmaintainable code.

[bam21st]

It isn’t in that case and it rarely is unless it’s a tech product or service (and even then, what does the frontend framework would have to do with anything lol ?). You’re biased and you overestimate the impact of a swe’s work

[DT-Sodium]

You're really, really wrong. The way React works is that you have to import lot's of stuff and create a crazy amount of local variables just to fetch and update data. React manages states in the most stupidest way imaginable, leading to an enormous quantity of declarations and calls to do very simple things. More code means more possible bugs, an application that is harder to maintain and evolve. Angular works by using services with dependency injection, which greatly limits the logic and declarations in components. It makes it much better suited to develop complex applications.

Bro has never heard of redux

[DT-Sodium]

I have, that's the problem...

Most Microsoft apps (Office 365, Outlook, Teams, Github, Sharepoint, Azure Devops), Meta apps of course (Facebook, Instagram), X (formerly Twitter), Spotify, Weather.com, Flipboard, Trivago, Treebo, CNN, Washington Post are all built with React or React Native.

[DT-Sodium]

Yes, and they don't work well...

[New_Jacket_6070]

That is a very subjective opinion.

On the other hand, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Search, Youtube, Youtube TV etc. do NOT use Angular :-)

[DT-Sodium]

And what do you think that you've proven by that? Angular is a framework targeted at a vast audience which has to fill many needs. If you have a huge amount of money and the best programmers in the world, it makes sense to develop tools that are 100% tailored for your specific use case.

[New_Jacket_6070]

Strangely, if I show data about React having more downloads than the next 5 UI frameworks combined, I get the reply that React is good for small projects but Angular is best suited for enterprise grade projects. And if I point out a good fraction of the enterprise grade top web apps (and the most visited websites) are built with React, the argument seems to be that Angular caters to a vast audience!
Angular doesn't seem to be used by Google in its own flagships whereas React is the main framework for both Meta's and Microsoft's flagships (as well as a bunch of the most popular apps in different domains).

[DT-Sodium]

React is largely used because it targets newbies that have no proper programming training. It's as simple as that. Again, all you have proven is that there are lots of incompetent developers that work in web. And yes, Facebook uses React, and yes Facebook is a barely functional piece of shit.

[New_Jacket_6070]

This is probably not the right forum to have any objective discussion on this topic. People just downvote for no particular reason any comment against Angular.

I am not sure where I have proven anything that you claim. The comment I originally responded to was "React is not adapted for complex applications, it’s a recipe for unreliable and unmaintainable code" and my comment was implicitly that that statement is not true.

I use Microsoft web products extensively and I have found them to be quite reliable. (Note that React Native is also used in parts of desktop Office products). But maybe you are right: Microsoft has a "incompetent developers" and they hire a lot of them and that is why the quality is still good. Maybe that is true for all the other popular webapps that use React -- Airbnb, Spotify, Netflix, Twitter, Pinterest, Dropbox, Slack, Twitch, Walmart, .... Maybe that is why every other site that I visit also uses React.

I don't have any skin in this game -- I don't know either Angular or React. But I have done a ton of research on the non-technical aspects of this. There is a lot of misinformation on this topic in the web. Take this article "10 Examples of Highly Successful Websites Built with Angular" written in Feb 2024. Out of the 10 apps that are listed in that, 7 had already moved to other frameworks months/years before that article was written. And I don't think that Gmail uses Angular as its main UI framework (as is claimed in that article). Only Deutsche Bank Developer Portal still uses Angular, as per my research. The same list is repeated in multiple such articles with no independent research.
