Re:Ask HN: What do you really need from a UI kit in 2018? by ankyth27 on Tuesday January 30, 2018 @11:33AM (#16266599)
I created one myself as a side project [https://underexpress.com] and learned following things:

- How do you manage the updates in your ui-kit if base framework is changed [bootstrap, foundation, jquery, other plugins.]

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

- Availability as package [npm etc.]

- Example apps and landing pages. Some UI kits give email ui, todo list ui etc.

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

- Browser compatibility.

- Easy customization.

If you are looking to develop something collaboratively I would be willing to participate.

I hope this helps you.

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

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

Oh that's nice - a kit with ready coded components that aren't just images (like far too many on theme marketplaces).

Yes people do want to collaborate on things like this. I'd also like collaboration on a page/email builder, so all of us mugs building SaaS can include something well tested and not reinvent the same software (again).

Good work!

This is kind of nitpicky, but on your site you say Saas where I think you mean Sass.
