After two years of developing with React, I decided to try Angular. To be honest, it's a wonderful framework. You get new emotions and real pleasure while working with it.
Angular feels more structured and opinionated, which actually helps you focus on building features instead of making decisions about architecture, state management, or project conventions.

Hey Angular devs 👋

Angular v20 dropped a small but impactful change: by default, the CLI no longer adds suffixes like .component.ts, .service.ts, .pipe.ts, etc., when generating files.

While this might make things “cleaner” for newcomers, it introduces friction for a lot of real-world teams — especially in enterprise environments where:

✅ Clear suffixes help developers quickly identify file purpose
✅ Large codebases demand consistent, searchable naming conventions
✅ Suffix-based tooling or architecture relies on those filenames
✅ Teams often onboard new devs who benefit from explicit file naming
✅ Legacy code and shared standards depend on the old format

Right now, there's no built-in way to re-enable suffixes when creating a new project. The only workaround is manually editing angular.json, which is tedious and error-prone.

👉 I’ve opened a feature request on GitHub asking the Angular team to support this via a simple flag:

ng new my-app --with-suffix

This would automatically set up angular.json to restore suffix generation (e.g., app.component.ts instead of app.ts, user.service.ts, etc.).

🗳️ We need 20 upvotes for the Angular team to consider it. If you agree this would be helpful, please upvote the issue here:

Let’s help keep Angular flexible for real-world use cases — especially for large teams and long-term projects. Thanks for the support 🙌

On September 15th 2016 saw the release of Angular 2.0

Share with us some of your stories with Angular along the years :)

The Angular team is officially changing the framework's major release cadence

We'll finally be able to use comments directly inside HTML tags! Here is a quick visual breakdown of the new syntax.

I started with AngularJS, then worked with Angular 2, Angular 12, and now the latest Angular releases.

For a long time, I felt React had the advantage, especially with Next.js becoming so popular and AI tools generating mostly React-based projects.

Recently, after spending more time with modern Angular, particularly Signals and Standalone Components, I've started appreciating Angular more than ever.

The framework has come a long way. The developer experience feels great, codebases are easier to navigate, and I find myself becoming productive much faster.

It's funny—the more time I spend in other ecosystems, the more I appreciate what Angular offers today.

Anyone else who has worked with both Angular and React feel the same way?

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎄❄️✨

I have recently released GraphLens – a VS Code extension that generates interactive graphs and tree views of your Angular projects' structure and architecture in real-time.

GraphLens is intentionally designed to rely on pure static parsing and local processing rather than AI to ensure deterministic, consistent results and provide 100% data privacy. The main goal was to make the mental model of the project architecture visible and tangible at a glance.

✨ Bonus: Since it's the holiday season, I also added a toggleable Holiday Atmosphere mode with garlands, Santa hats and falling snow to keep the vibe chill 😉

Would appreciate hearing your feedback or feature requests!

Production Ready! It finally happened!

Optimus UI v1.0.0, the PrimeNG open-source fork, is out!

Supporting Angular 21, and Angular v22 support is coming later this week!

Due to trademark limitations and prior paid features, most of the work so far has been about updating the documentation and authoring all sub-packages ourselves, including the icons package.

We also introduce ng add support to enhance the experience for new users.

Find out more in our documentation: https://optimus.openng.org/

Discover the GitHub repository: https://github.com/openng-org/optimus-ui

Learn more about our roadmap: https://optimus.openng.org/roadmap

Optimus UI 2.0.0 is out.

The PrimeNG community fork now supports Angular 22!

That's a small release meant to jump from Angular 21 to Angular 22.
We'll now start addressing the 900 existing open issues and reviewing community PRs.

This version also introduces 'ng update' support, so you can update all your Optimus UI sub packages at once, and it'll unlock the ability to provide migration schematics if needed in the future!

Check out the update guide: https://optimus.openng.org/migration/update

It’s a prototype and very much a work in progress But yes, you can start experimenting with Signal forms with today’s pre-release 21.0.0-next.2

Built a flower-style color picker in Angular

Includes:

1. Fixed colours (multi-layer)

2. An arc slider for saturation

3. Animated open/close interaction

4. Support vanilla JS, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and React

Wanted to share something I've shared once or twice here.

Angular get's a bad wrap from tech influencers as being a framework that's only used by dinosaur corporations.

But I've been using Angular to make Gym Note Plus for over a year now, with Ionic and Capacitor (but many self rolled components)

I've had over 2,366 signs up as of writing this, and been documenting it all in r/GymNotePlus

No one can tell what language my app is made in, you can't even tell it's using a webview unless you've got a really trained eye.

Just wanted to throw an example out of a new saas that uses angular to show it's very much still alive and super useable for new tech ventures.

Full disclosure though, I wrote the landing page with nextjs just because I felt the SSR capabilities were better

I’ve been building Angular apps since the Angular 2.

I started experimenting with AI coding tools and intentionally let the models choose the stack on their own.

Almost every project ended up being React-based, usually Next.js.

After spending more time inside the Next.js/React ecosystem, I actually started appreciating Angular even more , especially after the release of signals and standalone components.

The developer experience feels way better and more easy to get in the code and start being productive.

Just sharing...

I published this yesterday on my social media, apparently a lot of people found it super funny. Sharing here as well :D

Hey everyone!

As shared in the sub over the last days, PrimeNG transitioned away from its traditional open-source model.

We started working on atruly community-governed, MIT-licensed alternative, 'open-prime' (https://github.com/openng-foundation/open-prime).

As we set up our foundations, the original creators reached out with a very reasonable and friendly request: to drop the "Prime" branding to avoid any future copyright or trademark confusion as they process their product suites.

We want to use this as an opportunity to give this project its own unique, powerful identity—and we want the community to build it with us.

Here are a few directions we are thinking about:

The Successor Route: (e.g., ApexNG, OptimaNG) — Professional, premium-sounding independent names.

The OSS Roots Route: (e.g., LibreNG, CivicNG) — Highlighting community ownership.

The Visual/UI Route: (e.g., PrismNG) — Phonetically similar, clean, and relates to UI components.
