Constructive criticism: Trying to read the code examples on a phone in portrait mode is hard because the marketing phrases at the top sometimes cause the text to jump up or down a line.

Love the copy on the landing page & the framework agnosticism. Definitely trying this soon.

I am a bit confused about what this is.

Looking at the examples I see that it tries to be an UI lbrary, but the demo elements have confusing UI/UX and no accesability features (buttons don't even seem to have hover or active states, let alone focus and tab index).

Thanks for the feedback. M- is a tiny design system compatible with virtually any web project. This differs from say Bootstrap or Material because those are not based on standards and come with dependencies that create compatibility issues, especially for larger organizations.

and yeah, the visual design is more basic (I'm not a visual designer), but most people will theme it to match their brand's design language anyway. Developer experience, project compatibility, and performance are the main focus. Visual perfection will come

Why would I use this over plain HTML/CSS? I don't understand exactly what it adds on top, if you have to write your own styles.

Does it use web components?
