I like the animations, inputs are really what I need today for my UI designs. Checkboxes have different styles in Chrome and Safari. Safari checkboxes look a bit weird as in unchecked mode a rotated green tick is displayed inside a checkbox, and in checked mode one of the tick's lines extends horisontally. In Chrome the checkbox looks really nice though.

Bug report: If I follow the "Demo" link from the homepage, the first demo ("Buttons") works but clicking on any of the others (via the left hand menu) e.g. "Dialog" doesn't do anything. No obvious errors in the console. I'm using FF 33.0.3 on Win7. Edit: looks promising though - just get them bugs ironed out! :)

Me too. FF 33.0.3 Linux

While I like the project and effort put into this, I think, if you considering using this project, you should also look at google's own polymer project. Its based on the industry standard web-components. https://www.polymer-project.org/ React is using "virtual dom" which is kind of a hack to support web-components kind-of technology. Since the technology is currently here, i would recommend using it, and not using Re…

Can't vote this comment down (not enough karma?), but I would. React is great library, it is not very constructive to call it a hack just because webcomponents are there.

I had a talk with myself at the weekend about making a concerted effort to cut out the snark when I comment on the web.... And I'm about to fall at the first hurdle. Being "on trend" isn't good UI design. But I can see how we got here. Through OS X and iOS, Apple's UI ethos became the gold standard in UI design. It was so well designed that it was easy to imitate and by simply adopting the core elements of Apples UI…

I don't find this post snarky, but from a usability point of view I'd love to hear specifics about where you think these designs fail?

Is this correct? React doesn't use the virtual DOM to create HTML-like elements, it uses JSX for that, and JSX is optional. As far as I know the virtual DOM is used to avoid updating the "real" DOM in the browser when you don't have to.

I see no snark on display. I also see no arguments or reasons on display to support your position.

That is to say:

1) I can see that you don't like Material but _why_ do you not like it? Because it's new is not a reason because it can be both new _and_ adhere to tried and tested design principles, put forward new ideas for consideration, and be aesthetically pleasing

2) Why don't you like iOS's new UI language?

Is there a way that I can use this as a drop-in replacement to Bootstrap or on top of Bootstrap? If not, what would be the easiest way to re-skin a project that currently Bootstrap to use this?

Then I could have Facebook/Google/Twitter design and coding chops baked in :)

Same here.

Try these: http://material-ui.com/#/components/left-nav http://material-ui.com/#/components/inputs http://material-ui.com/#/components/dropdown-menu http://material-ui.com/#/components/icons

You get the idea.
