The dark themed combo-boxes are broken in terms of the item visibility. Only the active/selected item is readable, the rest are using a font color matching the background of the item box.
Hey thanks for the heads up on this — fixed!

Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#162What's with all the negativity here on HN, especially about the pricing? The Tailwind team created one of the most used CSS frameworks ever and charge nothing for it. The framework needs a revenue stream to enable continued investment. Rails has basecamp. Bootstrap had twitter. React has meta. Tailwind has Tailwind UI. I find it great value. It's a one-off cost comparable to hiring a designer or front-end developer f…

Any evidence for this claim?

Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#164Haven't checked out Catalyst but I have used TailwindUI. The components are really good but if you are not using a JS framework, it's a lot of work to integrate. The regular JS version of TailwindUI uses Alpine which doesn't have a CSP compatible version so you will have to write the Javascript from scratch. Partially due to these and frustrated by lack of component libraries in Rails, I built and recently released a…
Interesting. There's a similar library called PhlexUI, also in pre-release. https://phlexui.com/

This is an extra thing on top of everything they made. I praise them for not adding any extra costs. It is never enough for some people. They have a one off price for so much stuff. Absolutely no brainer for a lot of people.
> This is an extra thing on top of everything they made. I praise them for not adding any extra costs. Only if you're an all access customer. Otherwise it's $149. I like the Tailwind folks but $149 for Catalyst in its current state is a bit steep.
It’s only a £30 surcharge for me and I don’t have all access.

I'd say I see more tailwind than bootstrap for newer sites, but that's anecdotal.

74K stars on github is _some_ evidence.

It's terrible value when compared to the other offerings in the market which come as complete JS components and are free. Also tailwind UI doesn't come with figma designs, whereas all the other free ones do. You're just paying a brand tax here.
Do the other offerings you're refering to use tailwind css? In that case I'm also paying for continued development by the tailwind team, unlike the free offerings. I don't mind that free toolkits use tailwind, that's the beauty of the MIT license, but I do value paying something to the creators to ensure continued development. Especially if my business makes enough money from it.
I use PrimeVue, which offers it's components in Tailwind, Bootstrap, and their own CSS framework. They also offer all the components as figma files and provide actual documentation of each component unlike tailwinds 3 lines of comments for each component.
NB. I've paid for both tailwind UI and PrimeBlocks.

You can see it clearly by watching the trends in any of the NPM tracking sites, such as npmcharts[1].

Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#170Why would you ever pay for a UI kit on the web. I am not gonna name things, but you dont need to spend a dime on any framework. Most if not all popular ones are opensource. Use those ones. Makes your life much easier. Community arround them also a lot bigger.
I paid for it because I love what Adam and team are doing with Tailwind. It's been incredibly beneficial to use as a backend engineer, and the amount of money paid is trivial to the benefits it provides.
