We used Semantic UI for Startup School (https://startupschool.org) and it has been awesome. Really happy with the choice.

Re: Semantic UI
#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is the step between making prototypes with Bootstrap/Foundation and turning those classes/mixins into a final working application. You don't want your final build to have a bunch of 'col-md-6' class names.
>>You don't want your final build to have a bunch of 'col-md-6' class names. Why not? Who cares what your class names are?
Nobody, except the individual that has to change them all when you need to swap out frameworks or upgrade to a version that breaks compatibility or the product team decides on a new layout across the app...

Some people think bootstrap without dashes in the class names is better... or is there more to it?
Re: Semantic UI
#24This doesn't work well on mobile - on iOS at least... scrolling is funny, flickering screens, jerky inputs. Loading feels slow too - and I'm on wifi.
On S7 / Chrome, animations like accordion and message dismissal all lag heavily.
Here I am, using a phone more powerful than my desktop, and basic UI elements are still lagging.
Don't get me wrong - the project looks nice and solves problems in its domain, but I still feel we've made a seriously wrong turn somewhere that made us end up with UIs on the web...

#25Might also check out Ant Design. https://ant.design/ It's integrated with React and there's a separate mobile UI for it. Ant is Chinese, with docs translated into English. Like China, it's huge^^ I've just been fooling around with it today for the first time in create-react-app and seems good so far. Haven't tried on mobile.
Been using this library and generally impressed. +1
Re: Semantic UI
#26Is it possible these days to have a fully interactive mobile application with just HTML and CSS? Have CSS animations gotten good enough? I'm talking things like pure CSS accordians, modals/pop-ups, tooltips, etc.
Semantic UI is something I personally use for a few projects, but I really wish some of this stuff didn't require so much javascript and was more encapsulated like Tachyons [1]. The main problem I've encountered when using Semantic UI is that it becomes difficult to change the prebuild components significantly.

Nor with JavaScript disabled. I'm actually trying to figure out what it actually is.

It may be possible, but it would be very difficult to make it accessible for screen readers, etc.

Okay, no one has actually explained how Semantic UI overcomes this.
What if in the future you decide to switch from Semantic UI to something else?

Web components definitely help, IMO, not by getting rid of JavaScript, but by making it possible to use custom elements without JavaScript. You can just import someone's widget and user it in markup. Check out the elements on http://webcomponents.org
