what's important:

• is tested

what components do we need?

• [ ] side navigation (hamburger)
• [ ] modal

@simontegg started using ant.design, and now is using Semantic UI

the reason Semantic UI is great is that every component supports className, which means it works great with fela. i'm keen to give this a try. /cc @gregorykan

ended up going with http://material-ui.com/ for Cobuy. it's the most popular, is theme-able in js (Semantic UI and ant.design both require less to modify theme), supports className, and is shiny as. :sparkles:

i figure it's better to get some dogstack-y components up using Material than try to immediately roll our own components, as we can learn what we want to do differently later once we know what components are important.

My hesitation around Material was the inline styles implementation https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/issues/1132

I'm now also looking at blueprint js
