Is 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 encount…

Oh yes you can, there are many examples of individual components and I made one aggregating some of those in https://picnicss.com/ , but of course it has its limitations and tabs for example are deprecated as the HTML in those becomes funny/fragile. Modal and responsive nav are in the limit of what I consider sane enough to be in the default library.

Checked it out, and it looks quite nice! Congrats on making such a nice tool. I'm a fellow CSS library author here, of Wing[1].

Everything seems fine, but as others have said, the scrolling is jumpy. Might want to fix that :)

For people who are curious about theming here is classic GitHub done entirely in Semantic UI. http://semantic-org.github.io/example-github/

(Click the small paint icon in the top menu to swap themes to see in native SUI)

I did a meteor dev night where I talked about some of the ideas behind Semantic UI, which might clear up some of the linguistic origins for the library and it's ideas about language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86PbLfUyFtA

And if anyone wants to dig really deep, there are a few podcasts as well https://changelog.com/podcast/106 https://changelog.com/podcast/164

For a minute I though I was looking at the real github and they finally got rid of that black bar. Well done! ;-)

Personally I have chose Semantic UI as my go-to css framework over bootstrap. While bootstrap performs better on mobile, SUI is way nicer/cleaner it therefore eliminates the need to customize anything which I think is one of the reasons that someone would use a css framework in the first place.

When I started Picnic CSS[1] there were few CSS libraries out there and the ones that were available were severely lacking. They didn't have either :hover or :active states, no transitions, etc. Now with new libraries or modern versions of those, including Semantic UI, I wonder whether it's time to stop supporting it and switch to one of those. They are still different but with somewhat similar principles (at least c…

Sad I am considering to use picnicss in my next project. What you would recommend besides Semantic UI?

I've been a Bootstrap user for years on all my web apps, but thinking that perhaps instead of re-learning things for v4, I look at expending a similar amount of time and effort to learn something new.

I came across Semantic-UI last year and remember being impressed by it, but for some reason it just slipped my mind until I saw this post today. I seems it could work for another small project that I am thinking of starting.

Just to clarify - No reliance on jQuery with this framework, right? Has anyone else worked with Semantic-UI using Umbrella.js and/or Intercooler.js ??

This 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.

It feels like they added their own smooth scrolling in. I barely scrolled and it shot to the bottom of the page in iOS.

Also pretty spotty animations and such on Safari Tech Preview (#27) for me. Also, the "Intuitive Javascript" demo doesn't really work intuitively. It shows a scrollable box the size of one item—it doesn't drop down and you cannot see multiple items at once to select many in the "select multiple" example.

I've done a few projects with Sematic UI. I think it's great for desktop based business applications. It looks slick, and has great animations. Plays nice with heaps of frameworks, I was using meteor.js However, don't use it on mobile - it will destroy performance.

Curious about this. Any clue why? Too much animation, heavy JS-use? Not familiar with how the framework does its stuff.
