top | item 29431085 (no title) fotad | 4 years ago Is there any UI framework build on SVG? discuss order hn newest dreamcompiler|4 years ago I wish. SVG (with JS) is a fantastic way to build much more flexible UIs than HTML is capable of.D3 can do it but it's really geared toward data visualization rather than general UIs.https://d3js.org/ AndrewSwift|4 years ago There's not right now but I'm hoping to create one.One of the nice things about this project is that it's shown me to what extent the internet has become based on existing content.HTML is such a pain in the ass for design that almost all projects are just recycled — variations on themes, existing controls etc.SVG is much more open, and of course that might be abused, like Flash.To be clear, I do understand that usability is key and that websites should function in a transparent and understandable manner.Personally my principle is that the visitor should be empowered at all times. acallaghan|4 years ago I really hope not
