TW-Elements VS daisyui

I'd like to share my latest discovery with you. TW Elements is currently, the most popular 3rd party UI kit for TailwindCSS with over 10k Github stars. It's a huge collection of stunning components made with attention to the smallest detail. Forms, cards, buttons, and hundreds of others. All components have dark mode and very intuitive theming options. The project is supported by an engaged community on GitHub, I recommend you check it out and join one of the many discussions. You will find installation instructions here, and you can track the progress of the project live here. The project was kickstarted by @mdbootstrap, a group of open-source developers behind MDB UI Kit - a high-quality UI kit for Bootstrap, and also behind MDB GO - hosting and deployment platform. I highly recommend you to check it out!

Even though TE is already a fully functional UI Kit, it's still in its infancy really - we have great plans and a long and exciting road ahead of us. So whatever input (however critical) You might have, please share it with us here or on any of our channels on which we will be more than happy to host you: Discord GitHub X

Tailwind Elements

Quick context of the project: TER is a dedicated React version of Tailwind Elements (TE), a popular collection of components based on Tailwind CSS& Material Minimal design system.

Tailwind Elements is a huge set of more than 500 UI components. These components range from very simple — like headings, images, and icons — to very complex, like charts and complete forms. They can be used for almost any kind of project, especially for complex ones.

Don't use automatic Figma to code generators unless you are aiming for spaghetti code. Instead, try to find a UI Kit that is already compatible with Figma. FLowbite is an option: https://flowbite.com/figma/#pricing And if you want something open source you can check out Tailwind Elements: https://tailwind-elements.com/ They will be releasing their Figma files in a couple of weeks: https://material-minimal.com/

My recommendation would be to learn using design systems and UI Kits that take care of it for you right away. My choice would be MDBootstrap React for Bootstrap, and Tailwind Elements for Tailwind.

DaisyUI offers zero-JS components

I used it for a small form + search result list recently and it works well enough for simple / static stuff.

But I think I'll still be reaching for a JS lib first since I'd miss things like inputs-with-autocomplete too much.

Tailwind is great, but creating everything from scratch is annoying. A nice base of components which can be extended with tailwind would be great. There are a few tailwind frameworks like Flowbite, Daisy Ui, but I like Bulma, PicoCSS and Bootstrap.

While I have experience with Tailwind and frontend development, I don’t really have the patience to use it. I usually end up using something like Mantine, which is a complete component library UI kit, or Daisy UI, which is a component library built on top of Tailwind. Shadcn/ui is quite similar to Daisy in this sense, but being able to customize the individual components, since they get installed to your components folder, made development more streamlined and more customizable. On top of that being able to change my components style with natural language thanks to v0 made development super easy and fast. Shadcn may be too minimalist of a style for some, but thanks to all the components being local, you can customize them quickly and easily!

https://daisyui.com is a really great middle ground—you can move as fast as you would in Bulma, then drop down into the weeds with TW if you need it.

If you're looking for grab and go components, Daisy UI or Flowbite might be more your speed, I've used both with minimal headache.
