svelte-headlessui VS melt-ui

Hi everyone, I'm so happy I can finally share the project I've been working on for the past few months. Ato UI is a themeable component UI library built with UnoCSS (with the Tailwind + Windi preset) and offers both styled and headless components, since the library is build on top of other fantastic headless libraries like Headless UI and Grail UI. Skeleton was also a big inspiration, as you'll be able to see in the designer page and the token system.

You mention YAGNI, but I think the bigger blocker is "Don't reinvent the wheel" - which I think is the most misunderstood bit of programming advice out there. In my SvelteKit app, I am not using a "UI Framework" that provides components to me. I don't need to. Svelte is simple enough that I can build almost anything myself. I've looked at Skeleton's source code, and their components on average are not better than versions I have rolled myself. There are a few cases where it's better to use a framework. Sliders, for instance, have a lot of edge cases. So I use Swiper for carousels. But even then, I could build a working basic slider (that doesn't address the numerous edge cases) myself in an hour. The other case is Headless UI but even there, I disagree with how he implemented some things and it's possible to roll your own Svelte Headless UI just from Tailwind's source.

I've been using https://github.com/captaincodeman/svelte-headlessui/ since previous with react I was using headlessui w/ tailwid.

I've also seen this alternative library utilising svelte use:action directive rather than components.

Melt UI is the most powerful and complete headless library for Svelte. It offers a set of headless, accessible component builders, very customizable and flexible. Builders are just functions that generate a collection of properties that can be applied to any UI element.

There is still lots of work to be done, like updating the look of the documentation and adding new components. I also want to switch all current components over to using Melt UI, so if you're interested in helping out feel free to drop by the discord channel and say hello.
