Using Tailwind UI
Hey guys, has anyone here used tailwind UI in there project before? I read it was built with Next.js so intergrating it with a Next.js project shouldn't be that difficult. I'm trying to purchase a ui library for my company and Tailwind UI has been the best i've seen so far... Or which other ui library is suited well with Next.js

https://ui.shadcn.com/ probably by far
You get built components that are easily editted unlike tailwindui
I own a license to tailwindui and am generally underwhelmed by what it gives you. The components you get are just a mess and not easily workable without change
I like Shadcn a lot more than Tailwindui
e.g. what keef is saying. Tailwindui just gives you some boilerplate HTML and tailwind classes.
wow. i just read about shadcn ui and there was no pricing but it give alot of pre-built component
if its actually free. This just saves us a lot
Thanks so much keef
sponsor them if it works for you 😄
lol
can i ask something else?? just need clarity
i guess you can just go ahead and ask lol
okay, so i think i've seen this discussion some other place... The latest version of Next.js focus fully on the fullstack aspect, in our company over here, the frontend and backend developers use different stacks and technologies, what i want to know is can the latest version of Next js be used only for the frontend part. we seem a bit reluctant to switch to it, we still use version 12 - 13.2
you can
just because its a server component, does not mean that you can't use something like fetch a resource or use graphql
yes ofc, i've done a project with using flask and dotnet as backend while using nextjs 13(page router) for frontend
being able to run fully on server allow you to do other kind of operations? yes, but that does not "kill" other operations
hahahaha its very weird combo but was trying to learn new stuff and see how it works
is next a full stack framework? yes
does that mean that you can't use only as a frontend or a backend? no
thanks guys... about shadcn ui i'll let everyone know about it. so please this thread will still be used to ask questions pertaining shadcn ui, please guys
another quick one... some devs were asked to learn typescript cuz they only know js... They kept asking the importance of typescript and it will delay the project we currently on a bit... i want to know how important is typescript?? dont developers build with pure javascript again?
