switch to semantic-ui

[rasmuserik]

Looking further into css-frameworks, semantic-ui looks better.

I have been looking at semantic ui and found that it requires jQuery which I think is
problematic since jQuery is huge and slow. See this issue:

https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/1175

OTOH, it may be that we can rely on parts of it that are not dependent on jQuery, ie. the grid

Yes, I agree it would be best with a CSS-framework that did not depend on
jQuery.
But the major ones (bootstrap, foundation, semantic-ui) all seem to need
it.

Do you have a suggestion for a mature alternative?
Otherwise we could also just bite the bullet and use this semantic-ui for
now,

• maybe look into not using the parts that depend on jQuery.

On the long term it would be nice to have something in clojurescript,
a la re-com, but with mobile support.

How about using a preprocessor? I like the sass and susy combination. jquery is becoming obsolete these days.

It turns out that semantic-ui works quite well, also without javascript/jquery.

The problem it needs to solve is to quickly get some usable components, - sass/susy is more flexible but also requires more work / solves a different problem.
