We are the FE team of a Chinese company. You may have seen us in this article, when Evan You pointed out “a complete desktop UI component library with Vue 2.0” is available.

Yes, we are the team behind that library.

Introducing Element

Element is a desktop UI library based on Vue.js 2.0. It provides dozens of components for you to build desktop websites.

Some of you may have heard of Element, or even used it in your project. For those who haven’t, we made a video about Element over a month ago (back then the English docs are not ready yet), you may learn a thing or two about it. For a comprehensive understanding, please visit our homepage above.

English Docs

We started developing Element back in June, and its first public release took place in September. Since then, the community has been asking for English documentations. Well, your voices are heard. Today, together with version 1.0.1, we officially published Element’s English documentations.

About 50 days ago, a professional translation team reached out to us and volunteered to help translate all the docs to English. Thanks to their hard work, we are able to present English docs only one week after version 1.0.0.

We Need You

However, the English docs are forged by a group of Chinese after all. I believe you guys, as native English speakers, can still help us make the docs better. So feel free to contribute if you find the language we use in the docs any non-native.

And not just the docs. Element is still young and growing. We have plans to add more features and new components to it, and we hope the community can join this journey with us. A piece of advice, a bug report, a pull request, anything is welcome. Element cannot thrive without the community, so please don’t hesitate to use it today!

Thank you in advance. We will see you in element.eleme.io.
