CSS (+ some Javascript) framework, implementing Google's material design for static web pages.
Can be used for plain websites without requiring a full blown Javascript framework, unlike the (also excellent) Polymer paper elements Show archive.org snapshot , or Angular material Show archive.org snapshot .
Prelimiary impression:
I would recommend against using it at this stage, for a couple of reasons:
-
It is much less complete than you might expect from a CSS framework. There is little support for forms elements, for example.
-
Markup is somewhat akward.
-
It does not play nicely with livereload and will constantly scroll the page to the top.
-
Using it together with a JavaScript framework requires some care, because you constantly need to "upgrade" elements with MDL.
