Hey hn, I've built a performant, compact and composable Material library for React. It's based off of @material/web's official Web Components implementation.

I am to use Tailwind as a styling engine, and I want to make it installable in-project, like shadcn. Kind of like a lightweight alternative to MUI.

btw I'm already using this in a production project. Looking forward to your thoughts.

This is cool. Quick question, how are you implementing the Tailwind styles? I'm assuming that the material/web use the shadow DOM to encapsulate styles, and therefore allow customised using CSS variables. So I'm a little confused why the global tailwind CSS seems to work

This is a WIP I'm trying to figure out.

I want to be able to load those CSS variables as Tailwind directives.

e.g.

`

|_ button

  |_ index.tsx

  |_ tailwind.ext.js // 
`

I would love any ideas or feedback on this mechanism.
