Material-UI vs Chakra UI: What are the differences?

Material-UI: React components for faster and easier web development. It is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices; Chakra UI: Modular and accessible UI components for React apps. It is a simple, modular and accessible component library that gives you all the building blocks you need to build your React applications.

Decisions about Chakra UI and Material-UI

Fonts and typography are fun. Material Design is a framework (developed by Google) that basically geeks out on how to assemble your typographical elements together into a design language. If you're into fonts and typography, it's fantastic. It provides a theming engine, reusable components, and can pull different user interfaces together under a common design paradigm. I'd highly recommend looking into Borries Schwesinger's book "The Form Book" if you're going to be working with Material UI or are otherwise new to component design.
