Is it good practice to combine MUI and Tailwind css?
So I'm making a React app. And I like tailwind better than bootstrap, but I need the ready made components and icons.
Is it considered good practice to use them both on the same project?

Why not pick a TW based component lib
Like the official one https://tailwindui.com/
Tailwind UI - Official Tailwind CSS Components & Templates
Beautiful UI components and templates by the creators of Tailwind CSS.
How they make money ðŸ«
Isnt it paid? ðŸ˜
Is there an alternative?
I'm sure if you looked there is a dozen of them
DasiyUI is another popular one
Which is basically Bootstrap for TW (not really but really)

I suggest Shadcn: https://ui.shadcn.com/
Ready to use components that you can customize to your needs.
About the icons, I think these are great options:
* https://lucide.dev/icons/
* https://heroicons.com/
shadcn/ui
shadcn/ui
Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.
Yea I hear good things about shadcn
for icons though just make your own sprites imo
https://icones.js.org/
Or use Iconify directly in your project, no limits all the icons you ever want.
Thank you so much for your response, I will try those.
