It acts really weird on mobile. On windows phone 8, it has an odd button highlighting deal, and on iOS 8 there is an uncomfortable 800 or so millisecond delay.
There's not mobile support at the moment.

#42I don't like the vertical align of the search input field.
I know, it's kinda bugged since I've edited the size of the input fields, will fix it soon ;)

polymer is done by google? --- aside: I now strongly believe that, by HTML10, no elements will be defined and everything is going to be JS, and then there is going to be a massive HTML5/6 movement, "Hey guys, did you know that its possible to get /native forms/ though the web browser? and it doesn't even require javascript, manages to support in-built validation, you can even have 3d animations, all built-in to the h…
Except that native forms are clunky and the validation is very basic. Javascript can save you some unnecessary requests to the server with quick & easy initial validation checks & allow you more control over the behavior of the page after form data submission (via xhr). Javascript is also currently faster for animating, and can do a wider variety of animation.
I do not doubt the usefulness of JS, but...
so many blogs I've seen that require JS, when all they serve is text content...
Re: Material Design for Bootstrap
#44Material design isn't very suitable for the desktop web... and I'm not even sure it will work on mobile but let's hope it will. Firstly, it's too constraining, too specific, this style could get pretty boring and bland if every app uses it. And for lots of apps (and majority of webs), different spacing, structure, etc. is optimal – forcing them to use a different spacing would lead to worsened usability and ugliness.…
I couldn't word it better, and when Material design was first announced I was excited.
The style will get boring quick if a large number of web apps use it. Then people will start straying from the guidelines to try differentiate.
Yes, most of the animations feel unnecessary.
I can't find any complex UI examples. Really want to see what it looks like when there are more than a few elements.
Re: Material Design for Bootstrap
#45Certain elements work very well with Material Design, but one thing that is not working for the web are input fields and text areas. I tried it out for one of my projects and I didn't like it at all. It's very counter intuitive and text areas are a pain if you want users to be able to write more then 3 lines...
Re: Material Design for Bootstrap
#46So "Material Design" is "Flat Design" with shadows? I'm not sure I can quite get used to this particular theme at all. The colors are pretty gaudy, the main action buttons (brown and purple) particularly are almost unreadable to me. I couldn't find the input boxes at all even though they had a header, they just parse as horizontal rules rather than something I can click on an add text. I respect the effort that has g…
The Google stuff looks eerily like Metro to me, but perhaps flat design with strict guidelines and good principles converge into similar looking aesthetics. I just find "material design" obnoxious, pathological cargo-culting and can't bring myself to elocute it, except maybe if I'm referring to someone designing synthetic leather.
The flatness isn't the key point of Material Design, the interactions are.

After looking through Google's own material design guidelines ( http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introducti... ), I find them much more pleasing than this bootstrap theme. When it comes to material design, it seems that context and execution details will play a big role in delivering an experience that looks and feels right.
My project is just a 1:1 conversion from Polymer Paper project to Bootstrap. It's still in early developement but I'm sure it will become much better in future :)
It doesn't feel that way, though. Your colors for example seem significantly "darker".

agreed the colors seem to have higher saturation in the bootstrap version
