Amazing job! Framework maintained? iOS19?

Hello, hello!

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?

Welcome @Olivier1233441 !

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 :crossed_fingers::pray:t3:

(Or can clarify if he doesn’t have time, and then hopefully someone else in the community can produce this update)

I’ve been a long-time user of Framework7 (and admin on the forum) but I don’t think we’re going to see a ‘Framework 26’. Apple’s liquid glass design language is going to be very difficult to properly render in pure CSS, it’s 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 don’t see it being a priority, unless it can be perfected and released as a paid framework.

Honestly I don’t think it needs to be copied 100%.

With iOS26 in it’s current form there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement

I’m not a massive fan of the current “liquid glass” elements on iOS26, and hope they get dialled back a lot before the public release. They also aren’t great for accessibility in their current format, but it’s still only the first beta, and am sure they will be dialling them back quite a bit.

I’m 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 it’s 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 for…

So if you’re deep into an f7 app like me, you’ll 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

Just be happy you’re not a Flutter dev :slight_smile:
