Fair enough. What ui framework(s?) on tailwind do you like?

[–] brian@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

shadcn is the primary one for react at least. they've done a great job filling the space where you're trying to build up a design system but don't want to start from scratch, but they're great if you just want prebuilt components too

all the components build on something else like radix, and are pretty simple themselves. normally just the radix component with styles. Installing a component just copypastes the source into your project at configured locations.

if you've ever fought against something like mui to get it to fit design changes or change specific behavior, shadcn is great. at some point the extension points of a library aren't enough, but if you own all the code that'll never be a problem.

I don't use react, but needed a decently looking frontend complement library that didn't look dated, and found basecoat, which is shadcn but without react to be really neat.

Might be interesting for the htmx crowd here.

I like daisyUI because it doesn't have any Javascript

Oooh, that's nice. I might switch to that from bulma, it would reduce the packaged style size

Tried it. It was terrible. Reverting.

😁 To each their own I guess
