Objections
Animations too fast and not disable-able
From 2 comments
Too bad its doesnt feel like material. The fonts are wrong. The icons are not material, and the effects animations are too fast... Buts its close to what material is.

This looks pretty nice. Has anyone used Material Design Lite from Google? https://getmdl.io/
