Mithril is a very non-overwhelming framework. You can find a number of pre-built components for it at https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js/wiki/Components but I bet you'll end up building your own.

How familiar are you with JavaScript? HTML?

I've found Mithril to be a giant pile of crap. Buggy on most browsers and incredibly painful to use. Run, don't walk from this platform.

This comment bears no resemblence to the experience of those of us running mithril in production

What browsers and what bugs? My experience has been the opposite of yours.
