Thanks for the feedback. M- is a tiny design system compatible with virtually any web project. This differs from say Bootstrap or Material because those are not based on standards and come with dependencies that create compatibility issues, especially for larger organizations.
and yeah, the visual design is more basic (I'm not a visual designer), but most people will theme it to match their brand's design language anyway. Developer experience, project compatibility, and performance are the main focus. Visual perfection will come
- XCSme 6y agoWhy would I use this over plain HTML/CSS? I don't understand exactly what it adds on top, if you have to write your own styles. Does it use web components?
- jfbrennan 6y agoNot full-blown wc, but custom HTML tags where possible (which is totally valid, very few devs realize this) and Custom Elements when js is required. M- adds a bunch of elements on top of HTML (20 last time I counted). The design philosophy is that the API should match or feel like native HTML, e.g. <m-loader loading>, <m-alert type="warn" autodismiss>, <m-row> with <m-col span="6"> nested And you def don't have to write your own styles. this example is a recreation of a Bootstrap demo page using M-: http://m-docs.org/examples/pricing http://m-docs.org/examples/pricing. Looks good for 6kb and like 1 line of custom CSS imo
