   What do you use on the server? Basecoat has Nunjucks and Jinja macros, but I’d like to add more (e.g. blade, liquid, etc). I also plan on building more layout demos (e.g. marketing pages).

   All manual. It was a bit of work at first, but mostly because I had to decide how to structure them. It's actually quite straightforward to extend and maintain now.

   You had me reminisce of my uni days, logging into the Solaris stations pretty much every day. That purple wallpaper is etched into my eyes.

   Do let me know if you end up using this. I'd love to get real life feedback on using it.

   I think it's a fair ask. Being able to just add one line to import the CSS styles and being able to get up and running quickly (like Alpine.js or HTMX do). Not great if you're trying to build a serious production app, but great if

   Kinda, yeah. The goal is to make it possible for any web dev to use shadcn/ui with a regular HTML + CSS setup. No React. No Vue. Just whatever you're already using (e.g. Rails, Laravel, Django, ...).

   That's great to hear. Do let me know if you see any bug or missing component (I'm planning on adding the command component for example).

    Thanks! Let me know if you build anything cool with it.

    Would you mind sending me a couple of screenshots at hunvreus@gmail.com, or adding it to an issue at https://github.com/hunvreus/basecoat/issues ? It would be incredibly helpful for me to debug.

    - I prefer using Alpine rather than Vanilla JS these days. But the JS code is only for dialogs, combobox and tabs. I don't even use it myself on most simple projects. Curious what you would recommend using instead? Web components? - I

    Are you the HTMX CEO?

    Pines is really neat. I just don't like the wall of classes, but super neat nonetheless.

    Yes, I wanted to export it as a raw CSS build and host it on a CDN. Feel free to watch the project if you want to be notified when I get that out.

    I did seriously consider it, but again that was about trying to solve the problem in the least opinionated way. Which is also why I made the Alpine code as unobtrusive as possible. You can get away with using purely the CSS if you don'

    Thanks a lot, I got this done over the course of a few weeks and had no idea whether people would find this helpful. Looking forward to seeing others using it in the wild.

    Have you played with Alpine.js before? HTMX? I think you can get quite far these days WITHOUT React or Vue.js (and I say that as the maintainer of a Next.js/React open source project [1]). [1]: https://pagescms.org

    Glad you like it. Do let me know what you end up building with it. > I've normally done DaisyUI + Tailwind + Rails but it never feels quite right. Same here: I could never quite get into Flowbite, Daisy UI, Preline or any of the oth

    Yeah, I looked into it but wanted to avoid adding plugins. I already do a bit of (simple) focusing here and there, so it shouldn't leave the focus on the background: https://github.com/hunvreus/basecoat/blob&#

    If I offer a CDN version, it will be Tailwind-free.

    Yep, I've been considering adding a CDN option. I think it may be on the heavier side though (~100k).

    Hello there Ben. Sure thing, I'll try and expand the docs.

    Good to hear. I was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Maybe a CDN issue. Thanks for checking it out.
