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.

That one confused me, I thought "It's not working" but you actually have to press "Run Code" just above the snippet.

Rather atypical for this kind of showcase.

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/

and well documented, thank you for that ! using it right now.

Though it is for a private project. I'm not sure I will use it on a professional job due to the size of the css. I spend a lot of time importing things and I'm never sure how much weight and runtime complexity is being added.

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

Ah, thanks for the clarification... A bit surprised that libraries written within the era of mobile devices etc. still have that dependency. Not a put down of jQuery per se - it was a great toolkit in its day.

Totally agree with you!

Gosh that irritates me - does that mean that the "tap just above the clock to return to top" doesn't work? Edit: just checked, and yes it does. Also breaks the pattern where iOS shrinks the address bar and navigation bar when you scroll down. Completely unacceptable for a UI library to break these OS-level patterns

> tap just above the clock to return to to

Didn't know about that. Thanks!

The worst site I visited the last 7days (iOS). A lot of things broken, flickering, broken scrolling, overlapping things, slow, laggy, buggy. Do you even test for mobile? Why is this on HN frontpage?

Because its an otherwise very useful and good looking CSS library.

Please stop with these things. They're never fit for purpose, and now there's another thing that looks - to non technical people - like a panacea for all development woes. Designers will never follow your constraints. Managers will never understand why this hasn't magically reduced our estimates by 90%. And yet again, it's just "developers being difficult" because there's a bunch of guys in India who say they CAN wor…

Nobody is forcing you to use it. I don't use these libraries anymore, but that doesn't mean they don't have a purpose. And no, people shouldn't 'stop with these things'. You shouldn't be the one telling people what they should and should not be doing. You don't have to like it, but there are many developers who are really bad at styling. They don't have a good eye for design and they're trying to build a usable produ…

But people will be forced to use it. That's my complaint.

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…

I also wanted to echo: cool project! Have you written about your experience using clojurescript?

I might have to try this out, too bad I didn't see this yesterday.

Settled out with trying http://ant.design/ which has actually been pretty nice as well.

Seems most React components libs are material design and I can't stand the look.

Might 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.

I started working with it yesterday. It's a little gratuitous on hover state animation usage but has otherwise been very pleasant!

I also couldn't find css classes just for coloring text in the docs anywhere which kinda made me sad, but wasn't too hard to add a couple to my baseline css. I just wish there were a text-primary class or something (is there one that I missed?)
