Currently several HTML5-based front-end frameworks: such as Bootstrap, Foundation, Semantic UI, Amaze UI

Bootstrap is an open source Web front-end framework launched by Twitter in August 2011, with CSS and HTML, using the latest browser technology to provide a front-end toolkit for fast web development, including layouts, grids, tables, buttons, forms, navigation, hints, The core is the CSS built on the less framework. Bootstrap framework has a beautiful style and well-packaged JQ plug-in, easy to use, based on bootstrap extension is also a lot, this is not comparable to other frameworks, but also one of its most popular conditions.

The foundation claims to be the world's best responsive front-end framework, which supports 5 grid layouts by default, and is the most complex and flexible of the three frameworks. Bootstrap supports four grid layouts by default, and pure defaults to one.

Semantic UI is a semantic design of the front-end framework, development more intuitive, UI building can debug output in real-time, its biggest feature is the full use of CSS3 animation effects, concise and practical beautiful style.

We have used all of these products, and we found that nearly 6% of the world's websites are based on Bootstrap. But for Chinese developers, the bootstrap threshold is still high and localization support is not good enough. First, bootstrap only supports English fonts, and does not set the Chinese font. In different operating systems, different browsers, the default Chinese fonts may not be the same, which will cause the Web page in some cases, the display is not very good. And the size of the English and Chinese characters are not the same, the direct use of bootstrap to do text typesetting and can not achieve the best results. In addition, the wide range of domestic browser, Bootstrap also can not take care of the domestic browser support, we hope to continue to strengthen the support of a variety of local browsers, to help the front-end developers from the most tedious and painful browser-related problems free out. Second, Bootstrap has not focused on enriching the interface components, and the Amaze UI is very focused on improving the efficiency of developers, we will continue to increase the cross-screen interface components, so that developers as little as possible code. Thirdly, Bootstrap because the earliest is from the PC side to do, so some places is the first PC after the move, and amaze UI idea is to move the PC after the first. For example, Bootstrap uses the jquery library, and the Amaze UI uses zepto.js,zepto.js less than 1/3 of jquery, which improves performance on the mobile side. Therefore, a mobile-first front-end development framework for the Chinese market, the developer has a strong demand, but also an industry gap.

The Amaze UI should be China's first HTML5 cross-screen front-end development framework that is not only compatible with the previous advantages, but also has the following advantages:

1. Add more elements to the Chinese market: Chinese typography is more optimized and compatible with mainstream Chinese browsers

2. Lightweight, not only for desktop, but also for mobile

3. Contains some of the encapsulated widgets, and the other frames are not
