learned about compose two weeks ago
so forgive my ignorance
but why do you provide specific components?
and not just a “skin”?
e.g. using Aurora {...} instead of Materialize {...}

good point

But well maybe Aurora is more than just skin?

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Aurora is more than a collection of skins

[xetra11]

It's a feeling

[nfrankel]

Aurora is more than a collection of skins

perhaps this deserves a bit of an explanation

Documentation forthcoming. In general, there will be more components and features that are explicitly targeting the needs of non trivial desktop applications.
