Looks like this is open source and maybe free? You should really lead with that. TailwindUI is pretty amazing, you should lean on how you're different (open source).

Thank you. Sailboat UI is my first independent product. I am in the beta testing phase and I am trying to make it better.

I love this, this is like a new year's treat. I am currently using RadixUI with tailwind and since it doesn't try to act as a component library (like mui or chakra), I am left to implement my own components. I really hope this gets more traction.

RadixUI is cool. I'm trying to make sailboat UI better. Let's work together.

It's great, you don't need to make it better. I was just saying you should lead with the open source aspect in your marketing / landing page.

150+ components but the doc lists less than 30, so I guess it's still a WIP?

The ones present looks good, though I was looking for a responsive navbar one (since that's a component I reuse in 99% of my projects).

I suck at CSS (I know the language, but I'm not a designer). It's like painting, I know how to take a brush and put paint on a canvas, but whatever I do is just ugly. This is why for frontend stuff, I like to rely on frameworks like https://bulma.io

Tailwind is a nice framework, but it requires me to know how to make something beautiful, which I'm unable to. So frameworks like this one are more than welcome!

Thanks for your advice
