DaisyUI offers zero-JS components

https://daisyui.com/

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.
