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?
For reporting and BI? How does it perform and how is shareability?

While they can both be used for dashboard, they seem to be quite different. From what I can tell, Superset is a platform while Tabler is a html/css framework. If I'm understanding it correctly... Superset integrates with a database, but as a framework Tabler needs some sort of backend to drive any database interaction. Superset has it's own UI that you interact with while building your dashboard, but Tabler is just a set of elements that you'd need to use to build a dashboard using whatever web development methods you prefer.
So they're for different purposes even though they both result in dashboards.

#24Nowadays design language of your framework should look at least not worse than Material Design 3 or Twitter Bootstrap (just because they are there and you can learn from them). This project needs some more effort to achieve it, right now it looks like it was designed 5 years ago.
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I expressed what problems I see - their design looks outdated and doesn't even take into account devices with “tap” screens (elements are too small, tables are not responsive).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, there are no reasons to use it.

#25it 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…
This is the kind of feedback that can really help a developer improve their skills

From what I understand, it should also work ok with more semantic html elements. But it would be nice to see maybe a little of that in the examples.

Bootstrap looks ugly to me, compared to other design systems like Microsoft's Fluent Design System or IBM's Carbon Design System.

#28I 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.

Yeah, nowadays Bootstrap looks outdated a bit, agree.

Thank you for adding this. I love the look of this project and was quite excited. But I couldn't figure out how one would actually get started creating a site with it. Now I get it...
