Tailwind CSS component kits

Tailwind CSS has a huge impact in the world of web development and one of the reasons is the huge amount of Tailwind component kits. Many Tailwind UI kits have been specifically created for different purposes, from app dashboards to marketing sites. In this article, I'll go through ten notable Tailwind CSS UI kits.

We'll be diving into their components, compatibility with frameworks, and if the kits offer just components or also entire templates.

Flowbite

Flowbite is a comprehensive UI component kit based on Tailwind CSS. They have an open-sourced free library, as well as a pro version for developers and designers. It offers extensive support for many major frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Angular.

One standout feature of Flowbite is its Figma library, helping developers and designers collaborate with much more ease. If you need a good component kit for your project, especially when you're working with a designer or working on a big project, Flowbite is a great choice!

Daisy UI

Daisy UI is an open-source component library built on top of Tailwind CSS. It provides developers with a wide range of components and themes, simplifying the process of designing and styling interfaces. Daisy UI has a very customizable system built-in with ready-to-use components like buttons, cards, and modals.

It also offers a selection of customizable themes with preconfigured color schemes. Last but not least, they have the option to minimize the amount of Tailwind classes significantly by grouping them, much like bootstrap does (unfortunately it won't be compatible with Tailscan, though).

Lexington

Lexington has a collection of templates that are built around different design styles and with Astro. While they do not have individual components, Lexington's templates are crafted very skillfully and will give your users an exceptional experience with little effort required on your end.

Lexington is ideal for developers seeking professional templates for their projects and businesses looking for a specific style.

In conclusion

Lots and lots of component kits and templates have emerged in the last two to three years, both free and paid, and they prove to be incredibly popular amongst developers. The above list is just a fraction of what's out there, but if you were to ask me, I think these are the best ones available right now.

Most free component kits are an excellent way to get started, but if you're a more serious web developer, I would definitely consider buying one or two good component kits. I've done so myself and find them incredibly valuable.
