Swap in your own JS if you prefer.- Dead simple to use, just drop in a class here and there: Click me Why I built it: after moving from a Next.js stack back to Flask + Tailwind + HTMX, I missed shadcn/ui and didn’t want walls of Tailwind classes (like Flowbite or Preline).Feedback is most welcome: bugs, requests for components, criticism.[1]: https://v4.shadcn.com/[2]: https://basecoatui.com/installation/#install-theming[3]: https://pagescms.org Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43971688 Points: 78 # Comments: 30
