What problems do you see? Personally I like it and "not looking like Material Design" is something I'd consider a feature .

I expressed what problems I see - their design looks outdated and doesn't even take into account devices with “tap” screens (elements are too small, tables are not responsive). You misunderstood me: I wasn't saying that their design should look like Material Design 3. I said it should look better and take into account all the lessons we learned from Twitter Bootstrap, Material Design, and other sources. Otherwise, th…

Material Design looks awful to me. I quite like this.

The elements in the demo are also definitely not too small for my taste. On my iPhone 13 Pro I actually think the demo looks best at 85% and it is still perfectly usable at that zoom level on a touchscreen. Everything is too damn big on mobile sites, which is ludicrous considering the tiny screens.

Has anyone used this in a Phoenix LiveView project by chance?

I have. Works well (I would inspect examples on the demo site and copy-paste them wholesale).

I switched to Tailwind templates though because they suited me better. And honestly I couldn't (be bothered to) figure out how to only use the CSS required, not the whole bundle, with Tabler.

I have been using Apache Superset on top of sqlite for my personal use, and am fairly happy with it. Any advantages/disadvantages of Tabler compared to Superset?

Can you share how youre using it personally?

- personal finances - get statement exports to sqlite db and I have dashboards to manage expenses/finances, retirement account data in sqlite and charts for actual and projections

- my car - I collect data in sqlite db - amortization schedule/actuals for the loan, fuel/maintenance expenses etc. Dashboards on top of it with metrics such as $ spent, miles, cost of finance, cost of ownership (per mile) etc.

- workouts - I used enodomondo but they shut down and I had a data dump, I currently use garmin. So I get all the data to sqlite and drive a dash with overall work out stats over years across platforms.

Which templates do you use?

it looks like tabler uses jekyll underneath for docs and demo (which i personally like and am comfortable with). the demo is really nice, ahd while i'm not big on js any more, the js driving tabler looks fairly straightforward and appropriate to my eyes. the underlying html and css, however, give me pause about how easy it would be to integrate into a larger project. soup is how i'd describe the demo html, and its cs…

The CSS variables actually provide that exact functionality, in a sense. They allow you to adjust the colour scheme, font sizes, layout (margins, padding) without having to grep all of the stylesheets.

I stumbled across Tabler a few months ago and have integrated it into one of my projects. I love how easy it has been to throw a site together for a client with minimal time spent on writing stylesheets, or modifying your more generic "admin dashboard" templates that used to be the norm. I do, however, completely agree with your comment regarding soup.

I love Tabler and have used it for a few projects with great success. The title of the OP is not really accurate though. It's not so much a framework but a bunch of customization on top of Bootstrap and some pre-built templates for stuff _like_ dashboards, galleries, forms, etc. The site is more like a kitchen sink demo and documentation site for stuff you can pick apart and use in your own application.

Completely agree with your sentiment. It has been incredibly refreshing to use Tabler on my projects in comparison to the norm ("admin dashboard" templates) that tend to fight you when you don't follow their pre-defined layout, or when you want to extend the UI kit with your own components without having to re-implement the styling used by the kits.

I've shelled out $$ for https://tailwindui.com/

Currently using their components, but will (re-)use Primer for a private project https://tailwindui.com/templates/primer
