TW-Elements VS Tailwind CSS

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.

Lastly, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center, and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.

Sidekiq is already configured along with assets, tailwindsCSS.

Finally, for our front end, we’re going to be pairing Next.js with the great combination of TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui so we can focus on building the functionality of the app and let them handle making it look awesome!

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.
