The Ultimate Tech Stack for Building a Full-Stack MVP and Iterating Quickly
There are several alternatives to MUI. shadcn/ui is a modern alternative that is very popular. Ant Design is also a great alternative. Charkra UI can also be used as a UI Framework. Some people suggest just using styled components. Some use Tailwind CSS. Yet, for both styled components and Tailwind CSS, one still writes a lot of CSS. This might not provide the best developer experience compared to using a UI Framework, especially if we aim to avoid designing all the pages on the website.

I created a Zero-Runtime CSS-in-JS Library Compatible with Next.js App Router and RSC
Over my years of working with React, I’ve loved using CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion and Styled-components.
