Material design looks pretty dated these days. I'm wondering why people would still be using it? Is it just a taste thing or something people have been working with for a long time?
This is a great project, but material design was the worst thing that Google invented and implemented. Completely tasteless, visually unappealing. Would be nice to see such a project with anything else than material design.
I'm with the herd on this one: unless you're looking for a sort of "retro" feel, most designers are not reaching for Material Design.
What's your modern baseline?

I only see a blank white page. I'd expect that people who are specifically trying to show me an interesting CSS library could make at least something show up on the page without JavaScript. As a matter of policy, I don't whitelist sites that give me neither a clear reason nor initial content.
Right, so it's some JS SPA thing as well (of course). Out of interest, do you not often find this a problem these days? I feel like there'd be a lot of sites out there that are non-functional or literally do nothing without JS.
Gotta say, though, that I don’t think one actually misses much in such cases.
Of sites that require JS to not be blank and don’t fit into this main category, my vague feeling is that the rate hasn’t changed much.
For a CSS design site, this looks fairly bad to my eye. I'm not any kind of UX expert, it just looks clunky: - Lots of text seems slightly offset. It's not all centered within buttons etc. - The text also doesn't seem to quite line up with the icon on said buttons (it feels relatively a little too high) - Similarly the text within the little notification popups ("New") isn't centered and hits the top of the outline -…
That's what I love about iPhone13 mini with Safari. You spot badly designed sites immediately. (This site's buttons are too wide and it bumps from left to right when scrolling sideways.) It's still a free CSS kit, but now I know there's no care behind it.
(The site renders perfectly for me in Firefox on Linux. I never owned an iPhone. I suppose whatever AI model was working on it also used a single desktop browser.)
I understand design can have many goals, but surely it should atleast feel like ... something good? I've never once used a Google interface and felt anything good.

I remember how IE5 used to be the bottom rung to test a design against. (The site renders perfectly for me in Firefox on Linux. I never owned an iPhone. I suppose whatever AI model was working on it also used a single desktop browser.)
It seems the 13 mini is 375px wide, which isn’t even that narrow. The smallest I normally tested against was the width of the iPhone SE with 320px.
