    🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼  The most popular, free and open-source Tailwind CSS component library

  • preline

    Preline UI is an open-source set of prebuilt UI components based on the utility-first Tailwind CSS framework.

  • You can also check out

    https://preline.co/

    Which is basically what Tailwind UI should be.

    Works with anything.

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • flowbite

    Open-source UI component library and front-end development framework based on Tailwind CSS

  • shadcn/ui

    Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.

  • There are better open source libraries available, such as Shadcn, which offers real components and Figma design, among many others.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  • make-real

    Draw a ui and make it real

  • This is one of the reasons make-real works so surprisingly well: https://github.com/tldraw/make-real

  • unocss

    The instant on-demand atomic CSS engine.

  • I feel the same about people praising Tailwind.

    Tailwind (and similar, I tend to use https://unocss.dev/) is not good for your frontend architecture BUT they allow you to be so fast, that it negates the benefits.

    For a job well done, I'd follow the principles of https://maintainablecss.com/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
