I agree with some comments that it is lacking that wow factor that TailwindUI has.
I'm working on https://versoly.com/ https://versoly.com/ which is a Tailwind Website builder and have ran into a bunch of issues with Tailwind when it comes to building static sites.
I love that Bootstrap offer "btn btn-primary" and it makes it very easy to keep a consistent site.
For Tailwind to take off it needs
- A list of components (maybe 20 ish, buttons, tabs, navbars being the main ones)
- JS for components
- Container system (I have built one that works similar to Bootstrap and makes it much easier to create responsive layouts quickly)
Once those core parts have been built I believe developers will create more advanced libraries such as lightboxes etc which will save even more time.
I'm a big fan of the new https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue https://github.com/vuejs/petite-vue which is only 5kb and comes with a lot of power. Also combining it with something like https://github.com/CaptainCodeman/x-transition https://github.com/CaptainCodeman/x-transition would be interesting.
I really want to see Tailwind grow so if you're interested in opensource or want to create paid UI kits feel free dm as I have a ton of ideas.

- volkandkaya 5y agoIt is doing amazing. But I talk with a lot of full stack and backend developers who still use Bootstrap. They even own TailwindUI and other templates but stick to Bootstrap. That to me means there is a big issue with Tailwind and the developer experience. Once solved Tailwind will grow even faster and help more developers/companies.
