Show HN: Bloom – A shadcn like UI library for Elixir and Phoenix

#1

Post by bustylasercanon »

I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available.

The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer.

So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with.

The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well as the general quality of the repo & components.

Hope you like it.

Looks nice and much needed in the ecosystem. Why not just port shadcn (or rather, franken-ui https://www.franken-ui.dev/ ) to HEEx?

Never heard of shadcn or franken-ui, but they look identical, one links to X (Twitter), the other to Mastodon. What's the story there?

Franken UI is an HTML-first, open-source library of UI components based on the utility-first Tailwind CSS with UIkit 3 compatibility. The design is based on shadcn/ui ported to be framework-agnostic.

In what sense is shadcn not framework agnostic?

It's a React library.

not sure if trolling

It provides you with templates for react...? How can anyone argue that that's framework agnostic...?

Oh wow, I haven't seen Franken UI - this looks great, I can definitely look to port some of these.

I guess I've been taking an opinionated approach to start by taking components I had already built from my other projects and compiling them here for now.
