Material-UI: React components for faster and easier web development. It is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices; MD Bootstrap: Free and Powerful UI Kit. It is a UI kit built with an aim to cut the time developers need to create their websites by taking all the best features from vanilla Bootstrap and enhancing them with a distinctive design from Google.

Material-UI and MD Bootstrap can be categorized as "UI Components" tools.

Some of the features offered by Material-UI are:

On the other hand, MD Bootstrap provides the following key features:

Material-UI and MD Bootstrap are both open source tools. It seems that Material-UI with 50.5K GitHub stars and 12K forks on GitHub has more adoption than MD Bootstrap with 7.12K GitHub stars and 970 GitHub forks.

Fonts and typography are fun. Material Design is a framework (developed by Google) that basically geeks out on how to assemble your typographical elements together into a design language. If you're into fonts and typography, it's fantastic. It provides a theming engine, reusable components, and can pull different user interfaces together under a common design paradigm. I'd highly recommend looking into Borries Schwesinger's book "The Form Book" if you're going to be working with Material UI or are otherwise new to component design.
