I think it's a great idea, but perhaps it's not different enough from a collection of templates that you can scroll through (which are also in some "random" order, of course)?

Hey, if you don't trust our random algorithms, you can browse all our UI components linearly here: https://shuffle.dev/components

I spent whole afternoon today thinking which template kit to buy so that I get nice set of component with neat design. There were so many of them so it was tough choice. But i think i’m going to get lifetime access to your service instead. I just wonder if you are planning on adding more components in different design style? Like the Tailwind CSS brutalist style (i think codeacademy uses something similar)

Dummy question from a non-front-end dev: What is the simplest way to host this project as it is on the web? (as a static page, no additional functionality)

I’ve been self-hosting websites for years on a VPS but as I have been using Cloudflare for DNS management and for their CDN features, I made the jump over to Cloudflare Pages a few days ago.

Cloudflare Pages was trivially easy to set up, complete with GitHub integration and I can heartily recommend it.

https://pages.cloudflare.com/

The sites I’m hosting are plain old static sites. I have a separate private repository for each site on GitHub, with all of the html files and the few images and such that the sites have, just as I always had, but now when I push commits to these repos they are automatically pulled and deployed by Cloudflare Pages and basically all I had to do was to enable GitHub integration, choose the repository, tell Cloudflare how to “build” it, which because everything is static the “build” command in my case is simply:

    cp -R htdocs dist
With htdocs just being a directory of static content inside of any of my website repositories for the site in question, to keep the content I want to serve separate from things like the README.md and other files that I also have in each repo.

Then I told Cloudflare Pages that the “build” output is in the “dist” directory.

It’s great!

You used to be able to import TailwindUI’s components to Shuffle’s VSCode extension, but I’m not sure if that is still the case (or if it was ever condoned).

Hey, we allowed uploading Tailwind UI (as a ZIP archive) into our editor if you had a license and access to sources. Of course, we didn't sell access to their library. We will open this feature to any UI library in the future. However, we put it on hold because (1) it supports just one format (ZIP archive with category -> components in separated HTML files), (2) development of our UI libraries is more important to us…

How about other open source component libraries like Vuetify? Do you plan adding them in the future?

We add new UI libraries every month, and we will create them in different styles, for sure. At the moment, Cronos UI may be closest to the style you're looking for: https://shuffle.dev/components/all/cronos/headers

Wonderful idea, great implementation! Would love to see you guys partnering with TailwindUI somehow. That's my default go-to ui widgets library (it's not open source, so it might be challenging to find a proper partnership model with them). Just bought a lifetime subscription. And as I already do have subscription - my last recommendation is to switch to monthly subscription model as soon as you can. Monthly subscrip…

Could pay for lifetime. Would never pay for monthly for this service.
