Bolduro··on Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018?
I'll sure take a closer look at how it feels and works. Thank you. Feel free to join the waiting list - I'd love to hear a feedback from you on the first version.

That's a view worth keeping in mind. Does the kit you have mentioned above work for you in that way?
Bolduro··on Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018?
Thank you, I'll surely keep flexibility in mind. However, don't you think UI kits are meant to do the most of the job for the developer and should not require any additional work on your side? (as long as it does not interfere with your stack ofc)
Bolduro··on Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018?
I know Propeller and I think the guys did a great job there. My project will also be based on Bootstrap to make it easy to jump in for most devs. I've put the link to the waiting list below and I'd love to hear your opinion the moment it's out.

Thanks for the hint. I'm aiming into something similar to BS4 in terms of use simplicity - you download the kit, plug it into your site and go.

"How well have you documented your "helpers" and "glue" and less obvious stuff? Have you documented your goals in the project? Your non-goals and things you know don't work right?"

This two questions really made me think about those two crucial parts. I'll surely let the users know about those with the first release. Thank you.

As for the MFD - I'm following the Microsoft guidelines all the way in hope to keep it a faithful re-creation, but simplified.

Quick note here.

I've asked the same question on some of the other forums and was surprised how people want to help each other with such project. Seems like it's the same case here.

I do not have anything to show to the public yet, but I've prepared a waiting list for all the people who would like to see the final effect - https://www.nespero.com/ Please, feel invited to join. Thank you!

Bolduro··on Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018?
Thanks for such a great info!

- Modularity: If i need only a few components i should have the option to include only those and not any unnecessary bloat. - Check

- Availability as package [npm etc.] - Check

- Example apps and landing pages. Some UI kits give email ui, todo list ui etc. - Check, but this will surely be introduced later

- The kit should be lightweight + clean css [sass/less] + clean html. - Check

- Browser compatibility. - Still to be tested, but works fine on most browsers

- Easy customization. - Check

Bolduro··on Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018?
I think I can check this one off by introducing modularity. The way I see it is that you have a download page where you can check all the features you want your kit to consist of and get just that.
Bolduro··on Show HN: MDB (Material Design for Bootstrap) for Angular
A few months back, we've reached out to HN community with Material Design for Bootstrap - a framework taking best out of these two worlds.

It seems that you have really enjoyed our work, yet there were many questions about Angular integration.

It was pretty clear for us what we need to deliver.

The MDB for Angular is still a fresh framework and requires a lot of work, so we humbly ask for your feedback and suggestions.

Thanks!

That's something we're currently working on. And by currently I mean that by the end of this week it should be solved. Thank's for noticing.

Actually, the font is "Roboto" from Google Material Design guidelines, so I think we've got it right. As for the speed of animations - we'll surely look into it. Thanks for the feedback!
