What is Reddit's opinion of Chosen?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Don’t forget about iOS and Android! They both have their native select alternatives, which is largely the reason why you don’t have full control over <select> from CSS alone.

Look into a JS plugin like https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/ and just style that the way you want to make sure your solution replicates across desktop and mobile.

Nice feature but the UI needs improving ...

• I have a feeling the app does not get tested enough on non-huge-desktop screens, like a macbook 13", otherwise situations like this screenshot would not occur. This is not the first time that I notice the app not being tested on smaller screens, for example dashboard/#/portfolio on a 13$ looks like this ... the actual message "Open the dashboard to explore other DAAs. ..." is 3 miles below the fold.

• Putting text fields with "start typing" is just bad UX ... you should give people all available options in a dropdown by using https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/, this will still have the option to search but others can scroll through the list.

Looks good, but I wonder if this is a good fit for smaller screens. For others who are looking for select dropdown enhancers - Select2 is usually one stop shop for all select box replacement plugins. Chosen is another.

If using a JS-powered dropdown is the right way to go, why do you have to bribe your CTO? Chosen and Select2, among others, are known quantities and are much better in certain scenarios than the standard chrome versions.

Sorry, wasn't sure how to explain it properly. I notice there are some tools that transform select dropdown input into divs /w js like https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/. So I thought there might be something like that for scrollbars. I do understand that I may need a Carousel with a customizable scrollbar if that makes more sense.

First, great work and thank you. Had a couple of enhancement suggestions.

1) https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/ provides a slick select list with filtering. For example, would be super useful to search for "ev" when trying to find "that materia" that has 5% evade...

2) Use that free cell at the top for "magic evade"

Thanks again!

It isn't possible with pure CSS as others said already. But you can take a look here: https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/ It's the tool I use for styling dropdowns myself. It gives you a nice look out of the box and a lot of features you can use. You can simply override the default look with css to create your own look that fits to the rest of your page.
