vanilla-extract VS tamagui

For building component libraries I’ve been a big fan of vanilla extract. Apparently it’s from the same people who made css modules

This sounds exactly like Vanilla Extract. https://vanilla-extract.style/

KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

The components are styled with CSS modules. When building the library, these styles will get transformed to normal CSS style sheets. This means that the consuming application will not even be required to support CSS modules. (In the future I want to extend this tutorial to use vanilla-extract instead.)

I do a lot of UI work and have never understood the appeal of Tailwind. It’s like relearning a new language. Tailwind was released in 2017. Maybe the CSS landscape wasn’t as good back then? Modern CSS is pretty awesome.

I’ve enjoyed using Vanilla Extract https://vanilla-extract.style/. It’s like css-in-js with none of the downsides as everything gets compiled to css.

Nah, I used enough Tailwind to know it becomes a spaghetti mess. I stick with CSS now, and in React I use https://vanilla-extract.style, compile time CSS in TypeScript.

Vanilla Extract is my current choice for the next greenfield project. I would also recommend checking out how and why this team integrated it with Tailwind.

I'm not trying to call a particular org or library out, because I think the ones I've been digging through (and prompted me to write this) are very high quality. It's vanilla-extract (a build-time CSS-in-JS library) and Braid Design System (built on vanilla-extract).

Apart from what has been suggested, there is also https://vanilla-extract.style/.

To be fair, I don't like Tailwind either but styled-components is runtime CSS, Tailwind is compile time. You can achieve the same thing via CSS modules or vanilla-extract though.

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.
