Don't want this to sound like bashing, but the website doesn't work very well on mobile (hover and active states act weirdly, menu very clumbersome, etc.), and I assume the same can be said about the toolkit. Hopefully this is an area the author(s) plan to work on.

UPDATE: Just realised this is developed by a Chinese food delivery service ele.me (饿了么). I visited their website and found its developers made it completely without RWD in mind. This explains things…

unfortunately it's not, they even actively refuse PR that attempt to make components responsive

Unfortunate indeed. I get that making things work well on both desktop on mobile is difficult (if not impossible), but at least the UI should be somehow usable. The nav works so poorly on my phone I can’t even browse all the pages on the site. Guess I’ll continue my search for a good UI toolkit for my Vue projects somewhere else. :(

> Thanks for contributing, but Element is not for mobile web apps, so the changes here may seem a little weird. Maybe you can just override its CSS in your own project.

Primary it is an UI for Desktops not for Smartphones.

Most UIs are Desktop or Mobil based, a UI which fits all is hard to find and sometimes not really good.

It says its a "Desktop UI Library" so I guess they don't care much about mobile support.
