    Mobile Angular UI

    Mobile Angular UI

    Mobile Angular UI

    Mobile Angular UI is a mobile UI framework just like Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile. If you know Angular JS and Twitter Bootstrap you already know it! Mobile Angular UI provides essential mobile components that are missing in Bootstrap 3, switches, overlays, sidebars, scrollable areas, and absolute positioned top and bottom navbars that don't bounce on scroll. It relies on robust libraries like fastclick.js and overthrow.js to achieve a better mobile experience. No jQuery dependencies, no fat bootstrap js. Just a few angular.js directives are super easy to learn to put things together. Mobile Angular UI retains most of the Bootstrap 3 syntax. This way it’s trivial to bring an existing desktop web app to mobile. Also, a super-small CSS file is provided to do the opposite. Just include it and you’ll get a fully responsive and touch-enabled interface that can be used everywhere. FontAwesome Icons are included by default in place of Glyphicons.
