This is an unbelievably unfinished UI library. Especially with a price tag. A limited set of components with very little attention to detail. For example, the buttons lack the active state completely. Why would I pay €250 for something I can find easily for free?

It's so easy to use! Plug-n-play, CSS technical debt, "production-ready", easy to customise, a single button is ONLY 1932 bytes of information, lean! /s

I was _about_ to praise it for at least being tabbable, but the example of "Team members" does not work with keyboard-only navigation... great stuff.

You have a strange view of how web development works. They can collaborate with others just fine using those or any other tools.

I have a view of how the market for talent works People that aim to be employed do not spend time on things employers are not asking for

That sounds like a surefire way to ensure you'll be a cog for your entire career. Focus on delivering results.

I am so confused. Tailwind UI is a set of prebuilt components for building applications. And catalyst is built from those but is also a "template" which is also an "application UI Kit" which is what I thought Tailwind UI was....

Yeah the link posted here as if it’s the home page might be confusing people: this is one of many templates, which happens to be for people looking to publish their web application, as opposed to their other templates like blogs, marketing pages, SaaS pages, etc

If you click around the site, you can see that “components” are separate from (and comprise) the templates

how does that work if you wont be hired without prior experience in a particular stack to begin with

for current employment I’ve only ever seen teams push for using the next shiny thing solely to get that experience and professional validation in the current role, to be competitive for consideration in the next roles

This is neat! It'd be nice if clicking the blurred background area on a Sheet closed the sheet like the x button does.

That is planned as an option.i.e the developer decides whether to offer that. Some don't like it because accidental clicks close the sheet/modal which can confuse non tech savvy users.

I think we are well past the curve on the diffusion of innovation chart on this feature. It’s expected behavior that if a modal is focused and the background is blurred that clicking on the background will close the modal (or initiate close).

You can see this for yourself by using a heat-map of your users mouse movement and positioning. Note how many try to close with clicking the background.

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.

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.

Yes, agreed. I used them earlier and the examples on the page use alpine, but the "copy code" doesn't have it. It's actually easier to just inspect/view source and take what they did from the examples than try to write your own.

Maybe and it will be the default. But since this is a UI kit, I will expose an option to turn it off if the developer prefers that in general or in a specific context.
