Beer CSS – Build material design in record time

Beer CSS is great. I've used it for multiple simple projects and it provides a great DX with the clean html code and the many snippets on the official website. The only downside is that LLMs are quite bad at working with it from my experience, maybe it's just too simple for them..

Wasn't familiar with it, looks interesting.

Some animations are painfully slow, though. After opening a menu[0], it takes a long time to close once you click outside.

How well does it work without JS? I assume that's how the ripple effect is implemented.

Edit: they have documented what works and what doesn't with JS disabled here : https://github.com/beercss/beercss/blob/main/docs/JAVASCRIPT...

That file hasn't been updated in a while. Not sure if nothing has changed since then, or if it's outdated.

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.

And worth noting that this mostly implements the newer version of material design (M3). However, M3 was a lot more focused on shapes besides just circles and rectangles, but they don’t seem to have quite gotten that here

Thank you, I could not agree more. Material design is awful.

Why is there so much empty space under the yellow header?

I'm impressed that, in the meanwhile, Google has already thrown into the grave not one, but two different implementations of Material Design in the web: Material Design Lite [0] and Material Components for the Web [1], bot of which never managed to actually be competitive UI libraries.

edit: Actually, they've thrown a total of _three_ implementations into the grave, as MWC is in maintenance mode already [2].

For a UI framework landing page, this looks impressively bad on mobile.

Big Arial at random sizes. No margins, no grid, component examples scattered all over the screen.

Welcome to the future! We better get used to it.

Extended FAB not rendering correctly for Firefox on mobile from what I can see.
