This doesn't work well on mobile - on iOS at least... scrolling is funny, flickering screens, jerky inputs. Loading feels slow too - and I'm on wifi.

It feels like they added their own smooth scrolling in. I barely scrolled and it shot to the bottom of the page in iOS.

Websites implementing their own scroll behavior irritates me to no end. Scrolling is implemented pretty damn perfectly in every browser and OS I use. I really would love to have someone explain why they feel they need to tinker with it. In addition even if it's not broken it makes the website feel off because you are expecting a certain behavior and it's just somehow different and makes me feel even a little sick to my stomach. Similarly to narrow FOV in a game.

Anyone able to help explain to me how to use this with e.g. a simple static site?

i.e. hand written HTML (perhaps compiled from markdown) with no JS?

The manuals for semantic UI seem to jump strait into integrations with other frontend frameworks and build tools; but I don't want to use them.

I've done a few projects with Sematic UI. I think it's great for desktop based business applications. It looks slick, and has great animations. Plays nice with heaps of frameworks, I was using meteor.js However, don't use it on mobile - it will destroy performance.

Curious about this. Any clue why? Too much animation, heavy JS-use? Not familiar with how the framework does its stuff.

Only the size is an issue, the performance otherwise is great.

There is even performance debugging built in, so you can monitor how your app performs.

If you ignore the debugger and just build insane things, of course it's going to be slow...

I've always found it ironic that this library calls itself "Semantic UI" but doesn't follow the practice of semantic HTML/classes[0]. W3C suggests[1] that classes should be used for semantic roles (e.g. "warning", "news", "footer"), rather than for display ("left", "angle", "small" -- examples taken from Semantic UI's docs). So instead of giving a button the class of "button" it would be better to give it a class suc…

I always found that "semantic" approach very misleading. In computer languages "semantics" is what the computer does with your input. This is the semantics of C, for example. Markup languages are no different. Until you have a clear specification what computer does with the markup, you have no semantics. I.e. , , and tags have perfect semantics, while things like or have none or very vague wishy-washy one.

I recently dropped Bootstrap early in a project and switched to Semantic. I've been using it for a few months - so far it seems fantastic and much more "natural" to work with than Bootstrap. The gigantic set of components, and integration with both EmberJS and React make it even more amazing.

The interface looks good but it is like a nightmare to remeber every single class.

I actually think the opposite. The names are very logical and once you know some the rest is quite logical. Bootstrap on the other hand never made sense to me.

Anyway many times I need SUIs documentation open for reference.

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.

Wow Ant Design looks pretty great.

I am starting a new project, and I am considering semantic UI and grommet. Anybody has experience with grommet?
