Material Design Lite

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.
