I'm impressed that, in the meanwhile, Google has already thrown into the grave not one, but two different implementations of Material Design in the web: Material Design Lite [0] and Material Components for the Web [1], bot of which never managed to actually be competitive UI libraries. edit: Actually, they've thrown a total of _three_ implementations into the grave, as MWC is in maintenance mode already [2].

> Powered by Material Design Lite That's a curious choice. MDL isn't being developed further and is being replaced by "Material Components for the web" https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... From https://github.com/google/material-design-lite: Limited support Material Design Lite is now in limited support, with development having moved to the Material Components for the web repository. No further development is taking place in MDL by the core team, but we are happy to review PRs, fix critical bugs and push out new releases. No breaking changes will be accepted.

Hi, Alex. Nice new material design templates and open sourcing them! It looks like the developer wrote their own code[1] to achieve the material design look and feel; will your team be using Google's Material Design Components in HTML/CSS/JS [2] in the future? [1] https://github.com/creativetimofficial/material-dashboard [2] https://github.com/google/material-design-lite

The demo is mostly here: https://getmdl.io/ A complete new implementation has been underway since roughly the beginning of this year. They called it v2.0 of mdl and has been under heavy development. Some of their designs is pretty nice: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... With the linked announcement they just renamed the mdl project to "material-components-web", nothing more: https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/issues/4984 https://github.com/material-components/material-components-w... I just cloned their new repo and started the compiled demos. I see no difference in behavior/design of the new components compared to the old mdl but the architecture is much more modular and can easily be used in any JS framework.

In fact: https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/tree/master

I'm thinking of using Material Design Lite for my next project https://github.com/google/material-design-lite

I'm not really aware of that, as it's hard to infer CSS architecture when the final "build" is minified and built from a preprocessor. We would need something public. Maybe https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/ ? I'm obvious "partial" to BEM. P.S. I don't think you'll have the abstraction abilities of code.

Thankyou. Until I saw your comment, I had no idea this came from Google. The domain is http://www.getmdl.io/, the site doesn't mention it, and a "lite" version sounds unofficial. The only clue is the Github icon links to https://github.com/google/material-design-lite link.

I am not saying it's a bad idea. However, it trades one set of problems for another. What point is there in highlighting a problem and then proposing a remedy which introduces the same problems in a different form? > I like the idea of going to the components folder and looking for the 'submit button' All existing frameworks use the same approach (Bootstrap, Foundation, et al). GetMDL.io for example uses BEM and clean files to organize code https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/tree/master/s... Dealing with that on any reasonably sized project still requires "naming discipline" and "cognitive effort", both of which the author highlights as problems ailing BEM with a remedy that still suffer from the same. It didn't read very convincingly.

Yes, your solution is correct! I discovered this issue too late for launch, but I have a PR open with this. It needs some extensive testing because there might be weird interactions with our layout component and all the different header modes it has (scrolling header, waterfall, etc). Working on it :) edit: https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/pull/730

Lead for MDL here. Glad you like the idea, spoiler :) Thanks for catching the low contrast issue with the dashboard navigation - is it the same as https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/issues/739?. If not, would you mind filing an issue on the repo and we'll try to get that fixed up soon? https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/blob/master/C... Alternatively, we can file a bug for you if you share details about the browser/os/device you were testing on.
