Trying out Radix UI

  • What exactly does it offer?
    • 'Radix Websites' do have that iOS look and feel (Private) (probably just due to the font? ("Untitled Sans", apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, etc.)). But is that what users get out-of-the-box once they import and begin using Radix?
    • Following through with Implementing a Popover demo on the Getting Started page,
      • This is what a user gets on importing & using the Popover primitive:
        • radix-popover-demo-result-1
          • onclick:
          • radix-popover-demo-result-2
      • The JS code:
        • radix-popover-demo-jscode
      • The CSS:
        • radix-popover-demo-csscode
      • The number of styles is still a lot (I had the thought that even without a lot of styles, that iOS look and feel (Private) should still be preserved. This is wrong. So, what does Radix &co. do?)
      • It is quite clear though that it is a lot of work if not impossible to satisfactorily implement a Popover with bare CSS from scratch. Radix and other UI libraries offer that.
      • Without the CSS, this is what Radix offers (the fllwg is from the CandSandbox, hence the slight change in bckgnd):
        • radix-popover-demo-withoutcss-1
          • onclick:
          • radix-popover-demo-withoutcss-2
    • Radix is faster than Ant Design?
