The invisible craft of great UX
summary
MUI ships Base UI, an unstyled component library developed over two years that encodes subtle UX rules: menus support click-drag-release like OS menus; selects render differently per OS for familiarity; grouped tooltips drop the 500ms delay once a tooltip is active; popovers distinguish hover-open vs click-open to avoid immediate close; nested dialogs peek the lower layer with scale + animation; number fields support scrubbing with cursor teleport or freezing at edges; the library demonstrates reuse single popover element to replace hundreds of separate popovers for performance.
