Pains with React + Semantic UI

I got so fed up with material-ui and its Inline Styles (terrible design choice imo) that I tried to move to semantic-ui… But semantic-ui mutates the DOM, so even with react, it requires some extra finagling. So, as @Fabian mentions, I tried some of the react<–>semantic bridges. I got it working, but chunks of the functionality are missing. I filled those holes myself. Then however, I then realized that there’s no real support for SSR, so I would have to end up writing the code to render the Components’ DOM trees anyways… Aaaaaaand now I’m working on my own UI library that is 100% react, supports SSR out of the box, doesn’t do inline styles (but will be able to support those with something like (gajus:react-css-modules). I don’t know of any other substantive/quality ui libs out there in pure react. I’m going to share it eventually. Would that be something you guys (or gals) might be interested in?
