Tailwind CSS - Open-Source Components

Hello Coders,

If you're using Tailwind CSS in your development, or plan to use, might be a good idea to spare a few minutes of your time and look at this open-source library with more than 50 components styled with Tailwind CSS, and released under the MIT license. Thanks for reading! Please let me know your thoughts in the comments. Thanks for reading!

Tailwind CSS Components - Admin Dashboards.


What is Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is different from frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation, or Bulma because it is not a UI kit, and it does not have default themes or built-in UI components. It is a very powerful framework in terms of customization, of course, if you don’t mind the repetition in your markup, because you can make any website you can imagine.

According to the official website, it is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom designs. Tailwind CSS is a highly customizable, low-level CSS framework that gives developers all of the building blocks they need to build bespoke designs without any annoying opinionated styles.


What's in the box

Components are grouped by visual usability criteria (footer, hero, navbar ..), and styled directly on top of Tailwind CSS (no Javascript dependency) as pug templates, which makes them very easy to extend and customize.
