what is the relationship of this to Material-UI? https://material-ui.com/

On the Material-UI website it shows CreativeTim (the creators of Material Dashboard) as being a major contributor, additionally there is a Material Dashboard "Premium Theme" for Material-UI that's created by CreativeTim. In the MaterialUI site's thumbnail comments it says created with MaterialUI, but on the MaterialDashboard site it does not say this.

Very confusing. did CreativeTim move away from MaterialUI to a bootstrap4 foundation? or something else?

I reviewed 20 popular admin themes last month for our startup, and was v disappointed with them. Either due to code quality, or throwing in loads of useless widgets which are more consumer rather than business oriented. There's a gap for a theme that's more like Stripe's dashboard, not th…

I would definitely use clarity, if only it where React.

Or Vue. I used Angular 2 for a mobile app (Cordova/Ionic) and while it was OK, I'd rather not use it again.

Yes! I find that button clicks feel slow because (it appears that) the action does not start until the ripple animation completes.

I don't know which material library you are using, but literally the exact opposite of that is spelled out explicitly in the material design documents. Actions shouldn't wait on animations ever.

It could be just the perceived time in my head.

I remember seeing studies about progress bar lines can make the user perceive that progress is happening faster.

Either way, it’s a deterrent for me.

The alternative is to start with basic HTML UI. Almost no styling. And build from there. Understandably, few people like that advice because it doesn't make life easier. It does make your product better though, which is really all that matters.

There are definitely alternatives to material design that is not just un-styled HTML.

But there's not alternative to starting from first principles. Material UI and all other Ui libs are a premature optimisation that will paint you into a corner.
