I like the look and thanks for releasing it. I think the light greys are a little too light, especially on text and inputs. I struggled to see them without straining.

Thank you for the feedback, we will see what we can improve. Most of the rules were followed from the original UI Kit but on web it seems we should do some minor changes.

Looks very nice - but I agree with the other feedback - text contrast needs to be reworked in some cases, for instance the warning notification. Keep in mind that different devices will have different color qualities that put some text into slightly unreadable territory, particularly smaller text.

It looks good, though for a general UI framework I'd definitely recommend ensuring the colour contrast meets at least AA accessibility guidelines.

I'll second this. Since in a lot of places (Canada for example), WCAG 2.0 Level AA is legally required for new commercial websites and apps, you'll be limiting your usefulness by not adhering to this.

Hi guys, here is Alex, one of the creators of this UI Kit.

Found some errors with the tooltips. Caused by quick mouse-over of the tooltip button before the tooltip has completely faded.

These collections of ui elements or kits as it is named here never made sense to me. If you designed a nice button or slider or dropdown, hell yeah, publish the css and if necessary js. But bundling everything that might be needed does not make sense to me.

Fancy publishing an npm or bower package?

My two cents:

- The hit boxes on the toggle switches is very small and finicky. I tapped three times before it worked.

- Some of the controls look disabled, like the slider and toggle buttons. Combined with finickiness, it's a real UX frustration.

- The box shadows make the animations very slow. On my nexus 5x, I get maybe 5fps at best. It would be worthwhile to explore ways to improve them, like using SVG instead of box-shadow.

Otherwise, everything looks very clean.
