Mantine

4.2

(20)

"Mantine 🤩"

"Mantine is gold. I might not use it as my main UI kit, but it complements anything else so beautifully it’s a must in any of my projects."

"I go for Mantine because they have everything I need and components are good in terms of functionality."

"I’ve been really loving Mantine for React. It has a design I really like plus it’s very intuitive compared to other react libraries I’ve tried."

"If you were using react, i would recommend material UI, chakra UI or mantine."

"I like Tauri+React+Mantine for the UI component library, and maybe some Framer Motion Js for some smooth animation."

"Mantine takes the cake for me."

"Mantine offers three ways to style components."

"In my opinion, Mantine is a better version of Chakra."

"Mantine UI with tailwind and call it a day. Mantine for complex components and tailwind for css extra styling"

Shadcn UI

4.1

(16)

"The moment I discovered shadcn, I stopped my journey of searching for *The UI library* that suits my needs."

"Actually, shadcn uses bits ui"

"Or you can use something modern like shadcn and not face any of the above mentioned issues."

"If you want Apple quality then go for shadcn."

"Shadcn looks like the latest winner, especially for solo devs"

"I am using Shadcn for my current project, but I think I'll try out Mantine."

"Shadcn (Tailwind). Gives you a lot flexibility and in real jobs, that's what matters the most."

"My preference is shadcn-ui or ones that take the same approach of having you own the code instead of prescribing a particular API."

"ShadCN"

"I've been into Shadcn UI lately for different projects."

DaisyUI

4.0

(14)

"DaisyUI and Bits ui. DiasyUi for styling and theming, and BitsUI for headless components which I create them how I want with custom theming using daisy ui."

"Daisy 5 was recently released, adding DataPicker, removing the jumpy default animations, and enhancing the theme generator."

"DaisyyyUI🤙"

"Daisy nothing’s even close"

"I'm using DaisyUI and loving it. It's essentially cut-and-paste examples for TailwindCSS utility classes, plus theming, and a few other goodies."

"I love DaisyUI. Since it is CSS only, you don't have to ship JavaScript for basic components and are following HTML standards."

"For me daisy ui is easy to use"

"Same, pretty happy with it. I used Daisy UI previously but it lacked some components that I wanted, mainly Popover"

"I like DaisyUI. Since it's a CSS-only framework, it's not tied to Svelte, unlike Skeleton."

"Shadcn, nextui and Daisy UI."

Chakra UI

4.0

(12)

"I second chakra. We use it and no complaints at all"

"If you were using react, i would recommend material UI, chakra UI or mantine."

"ChakraUI is my preference https://chakra-ui.com/"

"Chakra is my goto"

"I recommend the following: Chakra UI"

"Chakra UI for sure"

"If you’re worried about time, it might be quicker to use a ready made library like ChakraUI or Flowbite."

"If you’re not bothered about spending time theming a full UI library to fit your designs then i would suggest Chakra as its much simpler to style or override than MUI is."

"Chakra UI? It's getting really popular in dev community lately."

"If you're working on something super customized, Chakra or Tailwind might be worth considering!"

Material UI

4.0

(11)

"We have used custom-styled MUI for large scale projects with great success."

"Enterprise companies are mostly use Material UI and Ant design. Their examples and docs are great."

"I use MUI and happy with it"

"MUI is one of the most battle tested set of components in existence. They look good enough and they work."

"Material UI and Angular Material are both popular user interface (UI) libraries"

"Here is the complete CRUD app example with Material UI and Refine"

"Personally I like material ui since they have very stable releases and with react, they give you grid and flex containers so you can basically no css a template."

"I really like the design of MaterialUI’s components."

"If you were using react, i would recommend material UI, chakra UI or mantine."

"Maybe Material-UI? http://material-ui.com/#/"

Ant Design

4.2

(10)

"As a full library for me there’s nothing like Ant Design, super complete and configurable."

"I'm using AntD and I'm very satisfied."

"I like ant too, although be weary of its package size."

"+1 I really like AntD. Also Rsuite is awesome! Similar to antD but has more components but less customization"

"I recommend the following: Ant Design"

"Ant design"

"At work, we just started using [Ant Design](https://ant.design/) for an App that has a similar use case to what you're describing."

"Another +1 for Ant Design."

"Ant design"

Tailwind UI

"I’ve been a fan of TailwindUI and haven’t had any need to use anything else."

"Tailwind or Chakra UI"

"Tailwindcss + daisyui + flowbite-react."

"I personally prefer to create my own styled components using tailwindcss along with headless ui library (radix), quite similarly to shadcn (a popular ui library)."

"Tailwind is awesome and saves plenty of time, I also used chakra UI in a demo website and was good."

"TailwindUI can be your best friend."

"Tailwind, mantine, adobe spectrum (kinda forget), shadcn ui, radix ui"

"TailwindCSS and shadcn"

"Just looked at the tailwind UI and it looks awesome."

Bootstrap

(10)

"I think Bootstrap is still the best choice."

"Bootstrap and then either 1) override with your own custom css to give your own flair or 2) find a bootstrap theme to make it look nice"

"Bootstrap"

"Bootstrap + PurgeCSS"

"Personally, I consider Bootstrap the most simple and beginner friendly UI library."

"Bootstrap is good and easy"

"Bootstrap maybe?"

"Bootstrap"

Flowbite

4.0

(9)

"I’ve been using flowbite with svelte 5 for a few weeks/ months now and haven’t had a problem"

"Doesnot matter svelte 5, or 4 or vue .. I just copy paste the entire code without downloading it because all components are written in plain tailwind"

"I find Flowbite easy to use"

"Flowbite is pretty good."

"Flowbite has a similar but free UI markup plus a react/svelte and vue ui library too that can be directly used."

"I currently use flowbite svelte"

"It uses tailwind so I guess if you aren’t a fan that would be a drawback. Other than that I’ve been very happy."

"Been using flowbite recently https://flowbite-svelte.com/"

"I think that Flowbite can be a pretty good option. There's a Nuxt.js integration guide too."
