These kind of libraries are always easy to spot in the wild because of their transitions on things like modals and action sheets don’t match native. They’re just not as smooth.

Re: Konsta UI – Mobile UI Components Built with TailwindCSS
#32My startup team is working on a new project and elected Tailwind this week. Konsta looks like a great fit as we want to work well on mobile. Wondering if there are plans to add a grid with drag+drop? We're looking to emulate the iOS homescreen where you have a grid of Icons that can be dragged/dropped using https://shopify.github.io/draggable . Having an integrated solution would help us avoid haphazard glue code.
Also check https://daisyui.com/ Which looks great, rather than trying to look like material or ios
DaisyUI is great! A little less variety but still awesome! I'm using it in Upscayl (https://upscayl.github.io)

#33Anyone notice all the gambling sponsors? Looks like they're fed from OpenCollective (see BACKERS.md in the github repo). Feels like they're trying to get backlinks as their URLs end up as anchor tags on the site Such a weird ecosystem the sponsorships have created. I see a lot of other sites with irrelevant sponsors and non-trivial amounts of money, there just for the SEO/ranking
Seems like a win-win situation to me: open source projects get the funding they need, and the sponsors get their SEO traffic. Gift horses mouth and all.

#34What is it about everyone using Tailwind? It inevitably becomes a mess in every codebase I've used it in; it's like Perl, a write only language.
I just use Vanilla Extract (with their Sprinkles API) and call it a day, it uses TypeScript as the preprocessor language and then compiles it to raw CSS, similar to SCSS but without writing SCSS.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't write CSS (normally) and yet I understand every single statement, and can easily find which statement I'd need to change for a given. It's that simple. You could argue "well you should learn CSS!" but at the end of the day, I don't need CSS often enough to want to bother. Frameworks like TailwindCSS have been great for people like me. - Also you went and dug into its guts to find the implementation details, t…
Interesting, I write CSS and react/js all the time, and I don’t understand a bit of that usage example.
Tailwind may not be targeted towards you. For me, it was a solution to many of my CSS problems. However, I'm not an expert in CSS, and I can recognize that for someone who already has extensive experience with CSS, it might just appear as a complex abstraction.

I see the Tailwind fans come out on any criticism of their library. I posted my comment a few minutes ago and already got a few combative comments almost immediately afterwards.

Using it wrong on every codebase that wasn't even made by me but instead by my employers? If it's happening that many times, the tool is to blame.
More likely that the people who use it and like it (for now) have never have to handle large amounts of components and refactoring them. It's basically impossible.
Trends come and go, who's to say that in a few years we decide, like jQuery, that hey, maybe this utility first approach isn't all that great? Yet at that point we'd have lots of legacy code to refactor, again just like jQuery.

#40I'm trying not to be a hater but really how is this: https://github.com/konstaui/konsta/blob/master/src/shared/cl... better than css or even css in js
Tailwind (CSS) doesn't need a javascript runtime, the browser can run it natively
