A Polymer-based library of web components for building HTML5 mobile applications that integrate with Salesforce data.
Mobile UI Elements is a library of web components built with Google's Polymer framework to simplify creating HTML5 mobile applications for the Salesforce platform. It provides pre-built UI elements that handle Salesforce authentication, data operations, and responsive layouts, allowing developers to build apps that work online and offline. The library integrates with Salesforce Mobile SDK and extends frameworks like Backbone.js and jQuery.
Developers building mobile applications that need to interact with Salesforce data, particularly those using HTML5 and JavaScript who want reusable components for authentication, data handling, and UI rendering.
It offers a component-based approach that reduces the boilerplate code needed for Salesforce mobile app development, provides built-in offline support, and leverages modern web standards for future compatibility.
Custom elements to build beautiful mobile applications on salesforce.

Components like force-signin handle OAuth authentication and force-sobject enables CRUD operations, abstracting complex backend interactions with attributes for consumerkey and offline sync.
Leverages Salesforce Mobile SDK's SmartSync for data synchronization, allowing apps to function in both online and offline modes, as shown with force-sobject-collection's cache querytype.
Provides elements like force-ui-list and force-ui-detail that automatically adapt to mobile screens, reducing CSS work and using Polymer layout features for flexible designs.
Elements like force-sobject-layout fetch Salesforce page layouts to dynamically render interfaces, minimizing manual UI configuration for standard objects.
The README explicitly states the library is in heavy development and lacks complete documentation, making it unreliable for production use without significant risk.
Relies on Polymer (an alpha project), Backbone.js, and jQuery, which are not aligned with current frontend trends like React or Vue, limiting ecosystem support.
Requires multiple global dependencies (node.js, bower, grunt) and several setup commands, as detailed in the Setup section, which can be cumbersome and error-prone.
