I am very interested in Framework7, my initial tests are great! I am also ready to become a real sponsor.
Is this framework still up to date and being maintained? For example, if Apple changes the appearance of its UI on iOS 19, and perhaps its page navigation system, will Framework7 also update its UI to keep up with the new system developments?
Actually the new iOS26 design changes with the rounded frosted glass effect really reminds me of the UI of another of @nolimits4web awesome projects: https://t0ggles.com
Hopefully he will create an update for Framework7 that follows this new design style
(Or can clarify if he doesnât have time, and then hopefully someone else in the community can produce this update)
Iâve been a long-time user of Framework7 (and admin on the forum) but I donât think weâre going to see a âFramework 26â. Appleâs liquid glass design language is going to be very difficult to properly render in pure CSS, itâs not just a case of frosting the background but actively refracting the light through circular lenses⌠or at least, giving that virtual impression.
It would be a fairly huge codebase re-write, and with all the other projects now from @nolimits4web I just donât see it being a priority, unless it can be perfected and released as a paid framework.
Honestly I donât think it needs to be copied 100%.
With iOS26 in itâs current form thereâs definitely a lot of room for improvement
Iâm not a massive fan of the current âliquid glassâ elements on iOS26, and hope they get dialled back a lot before the public release. They also arenât great for accessibility in their current format, but itâs still only the first beta, and am sure they will be dialling them back quite a bit.
Iâm going to make some CSS changes myself to have a detached bottom drawer, blurred translucent popover etc, so the UI will feel natively familiar (but better haha)
Am also using this exclusively with capacitor, so itâs possible to mix in some native components where/if necessary too.
Honestly would not panic about this. Pretty much all of the components that iOS users expect to look a certain way, Capacitor provides native components forâŚ
So if youâre deep into an f7 app like me, youâll want to use use these Capacitor APIs.
For example in the case of Dialog, the Capacitor plugin should render the native iOS dialog in liquid glass and be therefore be less jarring than the outdated f7 imitation of it
For the main content of your app, its less of an issue in my opinion, maybe some of the more seasoned app developers here will have some thoughts
