I've always found it ironic that this library calls itself "Semantic UI" but doesn't follow the practice of semantic HTML/classes[0]. W3C suggests[1] that classes should be used for semantic roles (e.g. "warning", "news", "footer"), rather than for display ("left", "angle", "small" -- examples taken from Semantic UI's docs). So instead of giving a button the class of "button" it would be better to give it a class suc…

Well isn't the point here that you'd only have to modify the HTML, leaving the CSS alone for the most part?

I use Semantic UI in production on https://partsbox.io/ and can list some upsides and downsides. On the positive side: * very complete, with good form styling, and lots of widgets you will use often, which is especially important for larger apps, * the default theme is mature and has good usability, without the crazy "oh, how flat and invisible our UI is!" look. * the class naming plays well with React (I use Clojure…

Cool, just today I was just looking for something like sematic/bootstrap.v4 that works well with clojurescript, do you have any suggestions? Have you had any issues pulling in jquery alongside react?

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.

Semantic-ui does require jQuery. See https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/1175

No, no issues apart from the dead weight (jQuery can't be compiled with Google Closure advanced optimizations either). jQuery is almost invisible, you only notice it sometimes because of the `js/$` appearing in your code, as in the common idiom: `(-> state rum/dom-node js/$ (.popup popup-params))`.

I chose Semantic UI for my project: https://suitocracy.com if anyone wants to see another live example, it also uses the default theme.

Like others, I was somewhat concerned about the bloat - over half of my front page's total file size. But at about 250KB all up, I realised this was only around a tenth of what the average website throws at people these days. https://www.wired.com/2016/04/average-webpage-now-size-origi...

Hi, guys, We have spent hundreds of hours build a new website with Semantic-UI for Semantic-UI: http://semantic-ui-forest.com/ . Semantic-UI is my favourite front-end CSS website, I have built several websites with Semantic-UI, and I love it, feel delightful when developing with Semantic-UI. But compared with Bootstrap, the ecosystem of Semantic-UI is small, so we have semantic-ui-forest for you: http://semantic-ui-f…

I think this is really great! Will definitely save this for later.

Semantic recently adopted my team's React adaptation as their official React port. It's lighter weight, eliminates jQuery, and all components are standard React components that can be extended or dropped in as-is. https://react.semantic-ui.com/

Thank you for the hard work done here! We make extensive use of your library, and love how well maintained and easy to use it is.

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.yout…

Fantastic work. Our company use Semantic-UI for pretty much every project, as do I privately. A pleasure to work with, way above other frameworks I've used.
