On: Show HN: Basecoat – shadcn/UI components, no React required

[pacmanche]

Now you just need to remove Tailwind

[hunvreus → pacmanche]

If I offer a CDN version, it will be Tailwind-free.

[yawnxyz → hunvreus]

Yes please! Even if we have to add the tailwind as a CDN, this would be useful — as we don't have to use npm / yarn to build the project anymore.

(I like building pure html files in alpine)

[revskill → pacmanche]

And then ?

[campak → revskill]

and then... that solves the issue of a Tailwind dep

[7bit → campak]

If deps are a problem for you, don't use basecoat.

[hunvreus → 7bit]

I think it's a fair ask.

Being able to just add one line to import the CSS styles and being able to get up and running quickly (like Alpine.js or HTMX do).

Not great if you're trying to build a serious production app, but great if you're just building a simple proof-of-concept or simple tool.

[7bit → 7bit]

It is a fair ask. But not if you ask a Framework that is based on Tailwind. It's like critisising Windows for not being macOS.
