A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

What's the best new ui framework I should be using for web apps? I used to like chakra-ui and tailwind never really clicked for me.

The tailwind team is building a shad-style copy+paste library that's pretty good: https://tailwindui.com/templates/catalyst (easier than using tailwind directly)

Tremor is great and not so popular that it looks like every other site: https://www.tremor.so/

Radix themes is interesting but never tried it personally: https://www.radix-ui.com/

Antd is still the 🐐 though: https://ant.design/

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

I linked Catalyst, not Tailwind UI specifically. Shad is based on the core Radix library, not Radix themes.

Shadcn is built on radix btw.
Also feel like shadcn followed tailwind ui rather than the other way around. Tailwind ui has plenty of components but it got so popular it feels overdone. Same with ant design. I used it for a few years but now it just feels old when I see sites using it.

My product Inbox Zero uses a mix of shadcn, tailwind ui, and tremor. But if I were starting from scratch I’d stick to only shadcn. With a sprinkle of tremor if needed. But shadcn includes graphs now so less of a need for tremor.
All 3 are tailwind and easy to mix and match between them as I did.
