mintter VS tamagui

I have been using different UI toolkits over the past ~13 years of my professional front-end development career. Probably starting with Bootstrap.

Tamagui has a really elegant combination of a Styling system (the mechanics of applying styles to the underlying systems), a Theming system (the way sizes/colors are passed down within different contexts of the UI), and a Component system (high level components that are ready to use out of the box. In my opinion, this is where Tamagui shines above the competition- each abstraction effectively builds upon the underlying ones, but it gives you a bunch of ready-to-use components so you can start building quickly and worry about the details later. Way better than the "just copy and paste" model of Tailwind which forces you to maintain components and manually create a consistent UI for your app.

We are using Tamagui for our open source electron app + web site. We hope to have a React Native app in the future, so we are strongly opposed to any solution that is overly tied to CSS. If you want to see an example (real-world, messy) codebase that uses Tamagui, please take a look here: https://github.com/MintterHypermedia/mintter/tree/main/front...

The biggest downside, in my experience, is the heavy/complicated/fragile setup process of Tamagui, although this is typical of any TS monorepo. If you struggle to integrate Tamagui in your codebase, I encourage you to power through the setup phase- the payoff is totally worth it!

Tamagui is a UI kit that aims to bridge the gap between React and React Native applications by addressing the fundamental parts of an app, such as styling, theming, and cross-platform components, while keeping app performance in mind. It utilizes an optimizing compiler to significantly improve performance by hoisting objects and CSS at build-time. Its main advantage is that it creates a consistent design system across web and native platforms. Some major highlights of Tamagui are:

Many times, while developing mobile applications with React Native, I have thought about the possibility of reusing components in both web and mobile contexts. Recently, I came across a library called Tamagui that allows components to be shared in both React Web and React Native.

Tamagui would be great to add:

If you're interested in collaborating, I've been thinking of a feature like this for our platform (https://tamagui.dev) to integrate with the studio we're launching soon, send me an email or DM on Discord.

I have heard good things about https://tamagui.dev/ . Haven't used it myself though, going to use it in my next project

Hello. I'm looking for a Svelte UI component library with a minimalistic modern look like NextUI or Tamagui. Preferably not looking for something that looks like Material UI or a Shadcn-UI clone. Tailwind would be a plus.
