#Semantic UI

Semantic allows developers to build beautiful websites fast, with concise HTML, intuitive javascript, and simplified debugging, helping make front-end development a delightful experience

Following is a snapshot of code which is already given on Semantic UI site to make a navbar

<div class="ui inverted menu">
        <a class="item" href="/">
            <i class="code icon"></i>
        </a>
        <a class="item">
            Blog
        </a>
        <div class="right menu">
            <div class="item">
                <div class="ui transparent icon input">
                    <input type="text" style="color: white" placeholder="Search...">
                    <i class="search link icon"></i>
                    <% if (!currentuser) { %>
                    <a class="item" href="/login">Login</a>
                    <a class="item" href="/signup">Sign up</a>
                    <% } else {%>
                    <a class="item" href="/logout">Log out </a>
                    <% } %>
                </div>
            </div>
