Why?

We identify these issues in the UI community:

  • Effort - Engineers waste countless hours of human effort duplicating work that could be shared.
  • Support - Accessible users are often left with subpar experiences, or are entirely unsupported.
  • Consistency - User experience is often inconsistent and compromised between UIs due to isolated development practices.
  • Portability - The lack of a shared language for UI limits our ability as a community to communicate, collaborate, and share.
  • Timing - UI's have existed long enough to observe and codify a shared standard; the time is right.

Open UI is a open source collective effort to standardize names and anatomies for common UI patterns.

How?

There are two pillars of focus here:

  • /research documenting UI as it has naturally emerged
  • /platform representing browser testing for component support against common use cases using standards based approaches

These two will iterate in a cyclic collaboration to define and develop standardized UI. Refer to the resources in each effort for more information.
