I plan to build a facebook instant messenger clone, and look for a jquery interface framework what I aim to so is:

http://www.arrowchat.com/demo.branded/

Now the idea is to have a clean user interface library to handle the dialogs and other stuff.. I already looked at:

  • ember to complicated pre-mature for now
  • backbone but does not support ui stuff
  • jquery-ui distaste on this one not sure why, its to bloated for starters
  • http://www.jeasyui.com/demo/index.php seems nice but not very tied to backbone.js - this is perfect but need lib thats more dedicated to backbone.js

Are there any other jquery library's to render user interfaces perhaps specific to backbone.js to get a decent layout up and running on clean code? thx!

  • It's unlikely you're going to find something as specific as you are looking for. jQuery user interface libraries tend to want to be generic for use in any kind of situation. I don't get what you mean when you say jQueryUI is bloated. It's not, in fact it's broken up so that you only have to include the parts you want. – Erik Funkenbusch Oct 03 '12 at 15:03

Have a look at either Bootstrap or Foundation Zurb.

They both give you a responsive scaffolding with common UI elements. If you want more JS plugins then Bootstrap would be the one.
