Garrett_Mack··on LiftKit – UI where "everything derives from the golden ratio"
Hey Tom, I'm the creator. They're actually even worse than what you're describing. On touchscreens, the handle slides up and down as you try to move it left or right. Horrible, isn't it? One of these days, I'll get around to fixing it. The only reason it hasn't been done yet is that, to be perfectly honest, you're the first one to give this feedback. So I appreciate it!
Garrett_Mack··on LiftKit – UI where "everything derives from the golden ratio"
Hi everyone, I'm the creator of LiftKit. This project is EXTREMELY early and, as everyone has pointed out, not ready for production use. It's a solo project I work on in my free time. I'm a self-taught, so a lot of the weird choices you're seeing can be attributed to the decisions of someone who had never built something like this before.

LIFTKIT IS FREE AND OPEN SOURCE. The website's just out of date.

Most of the feedback folks are providing here was raised about 6 months ago on Reddit and is actively being worked on. You can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1m41arx/i_spent_18_...

KNOWN ISSUES INCLUDE: - Docs are a nightmare, screenshots are ridiculous instead of real components - Components are inaccessible spaghetti

CURRENT PRIORITIES: - Rebuilding with radix primitives - Improving docs

TO LEARN MORE: - This youtube video explains the gist of the system (though it's also a little outdated) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1DANFZYJDw

I'll reply to folks as best I can.
