Is this Web Component still in development?

It looks great, and I have been working on getting some other Material components into Servoy, so I’d love to help out

Hi Ben,

we are very glad of your willing to help out development; we don’t plan further development on the specific library because the perfomance problem of the used library, material.angularjs, has not been solved on Windows based browsers;
the material.anguarjs library has now moved to material2 version which is not backcompatible with AngularJS.

I may suggest you to implement a new set of material components on top of a different library. There is a materializecss (http://materializecss.com/forms.html) library which is fully build with JQuery and CSS; therefore i expect won’t suffer the perfomance issue of the material.angularjs library (the perfomance issue are due to extensive use of angular animations).
I will be happy to answer your questions and support you in the implementation of such component set.

Regards,
Paolo
