Oh man, if this is more or less tailwind ui but already turned into thoughtful react components, I’m all in. Tailwind ui has been useful as a reference of a non-trivial implementation of tailwind css that you buy, which is great. Try to drop the examples into a real application and you’ll have a bad time, it just feels like something should exist already… and here it is! Hopefully, anyway, will definitely try it out!

#32the probable success of Catalyst will prove once again that people believe that an expensive product is automatically better than free ones.
Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#33Am I missing something? It looks like this is incredibly unfinished.
From the linked docs:
> Catalyst v0.1.0 is a development preview with unstable dependencies.
So, yeah, it's still a work in progress.

#34As an infrastructure engineer who spends all day in Go and Bash and AWS I gotta say I’m a huge fan of Tailwind. This looks worth buying too. People are blown away by my front end skills, baby I’m just letting Copilot and Tailwind whisper sweet anodyne nothings into my ear. Keep me as far away from design as you can; this helps!
Hah same here. Learned enough tailwind to be effective for my personal website. I’m writing a blog article about it. Gpt4 didn’t produce satisfactory layouts so I learned grid-cols and flex, which is useful for groking existing tailwind layouts.

#35Slightly 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? [0] https://tailwindui.com/license
It says "admin panel tool", which given the examples seems to me that the prohibition is not on creating a single purpose admin panel for a specific app.

I think you can make an admin panel for your own application backend or whatever. You just can’t sell a general purpose admin panel product. At least, that’s my reading of it.
Re: Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
#37I 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.
Right?
It’s weird that they don’t just provide the alpine code that they’ve already built.
You’ve done the work guys.
That’s my only complaint. It’s been good otherwise.

Even though the discord said they refund with no issues I haven't asked for a refund but tailwind ui was not worth the money unless react is being used. Such a massive disappointment there isn't any JS with the "vanilla" components.
I’ve been really happy with my tailwind ui purchase. I’m weaker on the design side so having a consistent and decent look and feel is great. Writing up a little bit of js to make them dance is no big deal, and I like that I don’t have to buy into another build process or toolchain for it.

Yea, before this, I had been creating my own components based on the examples provided. It will be nice to just have premade components, now I won't have to implement all the components myself.

Yes. I don’t want a refund. There’s enough value there. I just want them to add the alpine code to the copy paste code.
