This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I maintain a similar boilerplate (graphene + semantic ui). What's your take on Tailwind so far? I've found the lack of a react offering has really slowed me down.

The creators of TailwindCSS also have a paid offering called TailwindUI (just pre-created components with documentation for your application and marketing site) that has React support. It also comes with Figma mockups for each component. It's a bit pricy but very high quality.

  I never used Tailwind but given its popular modern look, I wonder why there is a lack of open source React components built on top of it?

      This React library doesn't seem to be based on Tailwind?

> What's your take on Tailwind so far? I've found the lack of a react offering has really slowed me down. It's working out well for the most part, but I don't use React. I mainly develop server rendered apps and sprinkle in JS as needed. The only weak link with Tailwind IMO is the lack of JS for doing common things like hiding / showing menus, tooltips, modals, tabs and other stuff you'd find baked into Bootstrap. I know there's some JS included in the TailwindUI components but it's not for JS libraries that I use. I prefer using StimulusJS which isn't something they support at the moment. Fortunately there's a bunch of StimulusJS Tailwind examples provided by the community so it's not too bad in the end. I imagine it's hard for Adam because there's React, Vue, Alpine and StimulusJS, all of which are popular enough where there's a good amount of users using them. I'm optimistic that he'll think of a way to cater to all of these users in some way, it'll only be a matter of time. NOTE: This is just speculation, I'm not affiliated with Tailwind in any way.
