Wow, the name brings back Amiga memories, MUI (Magic User Interface) was a modern alternative to the standard UI (called Intuition) (link: http://www.sasg.com/mui/index.html)

The dropdown is funky. I haven't dug into the `why`, but if you click on the actual ▼ character, the menu doesn't expand. Gotta find the sweet spot, cause at first you might think it's fine.

Tested on Chrome/Ubuntu and Chrome/OSX.

edit: appears an issue was just opened. https://github.com/amorey/mui/issues/1

Thanks! I'll take a look at the pull request.

Site is not loading. I can only view cached version (via Google)

If you are interested in a Bootstrap based theme, do check out Bootswatch Paper [1]. MUI is definitely a much lighter option though.

The most compelling part of Material is the tweening. I don't see many tweens on your demo page, and the ones that are there feel too abrupt.

Can you point out which animations feel too abrupt?

- The drawer is too fast and it has no easing. It also instantly vanishes when you dismiss it.

- The underline on the E-mail Address field isn't animated at all.

Thanks! The drawer isn't a UI component provided by the framework (it's custom code in the documentation).

Planning to include it? :D

Am I alone in disliking Material Design? After upgrading Android, I feel like the previous UI was more intuitive. Now its spreading to the web

You're not alone, I don't like it either. There's nothing which I can pin-point as being 'bad' about it, I just plain don't enjoy the look or feel.

Nice and simple.)

What? No github repo?

This is trash

Can we please not Google brand the whole internet? :(

Agreed! By design MUI only implements some of the core features of Material Design so that sites don't start to feel like they were designed with a certain framework.
