Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#12I bought tailwind UI more than a year ago. The lifetime/unlimited product or whatever it was. It’s generally fine but feels incomplete. Many of the components don’t have any alpine or JS code documented even though the team has clearly built those aspects when building the previews and demos. I’m not sure what the rationale was there but I hope they’ve fixed it here.
I’ve gotten into the habit of using “Inspect Source” in my browser when copying and pasting, because it tends to have almost fully-built Alpine transitions embedded.
Kind of inconvenient and strange.

#13Hate that everything needs React these days. I’ll stick to using Tabler and HTMX.

#14I learned so much from using tailwind ui. Could be more extensive but it’s easily paid for itself

#15I don’t see a dark mode/theme.
I can see it on the top right corner.

#16The decision to cough up for the lifetime payment pays off again.

#17Am I missing something? It looks like this is incredibly unfinished.
You aren't missing anything except that Catalyst is included in the Tailwind UI lifetime license that many HN readers bought years ago so this is likely from an "insider" email campaign, rather than a marketing landing page for a standalone product. It's not meant for general consumption yet.

I bought Tailwind UI when it first came out, and have been thrilled. I view it as essentially I paid for a high quality template to build off of. You are still expected to know tailwind, or at least that's how I took it, I am not sure how its advertised now, but I am pretty sure its not advertised as a batteries included OOTB solution, but more as a starting point. From that perspective, I have been pleased.

#19I wish there was a "frameworkless" version. Just include the JS/CSS/Font(s) and paste the html and there you go.

#20Slightly off topic, but has anyone read the license[0]?
This point feels really odd to me:
> Creating an admin panel tool (like Laravel Nova or ActiveAdmin) that is made available either for sale or for free.
I mostly get the other restrictions. You can't buy the kit then repackage it and sell it. But why can't you make an admin panel?
