# Material UI’s Philosophy

We are on a mission to provide an elegant implementation of the Material Design Specification.
But we believe we can do more.

We want Material-UI to become whatever is generally useful for application development in the spirit of the Material Design spec.
This means Material Design with a general use UI library of components that are needed by many. This general use doesn't imply any other design methodology.
It also means we will have components or combinations that are simply not addressed in the spec.

I'm not totally clear on what this paragraph is alluding to. What does general-use mean in this context, and what is the "more" mentioned in the previous paragraph?

updated to address flow of intent.

We also focus on providing all the low-level tools needed to build a rich user-interface with React.

We do?

Once you solve the Material design specification (that put the bar very high),
you should be able to take advantage of it for you own business custom style.
We want to see companies succeeding making Material UI matches their brand. We don't want them to feel that their UI looks like another Google product.

"We don't want them to feel that their UI looks like another Google product."

Pretty sure that's Google's intent behind Material Design! 😆

From a user point of view, we want Material UI to be a pleasure to work with.
We want to deliver on fully encapsulated react components.
We want as much developer joy as possible.
