Site appears broken on mobile, with overflow and sizing issues.

Component markup is messy, with hardcoded values and excessive classes.
From 3 comments
Actually, looking at some examples, this is absolutely atrocious markup. Tons of empty divs with random CSS properties that are invisible and take up zero space. Hardcoded color…

From 1 comment

Requests
Show primitive components like buttons and forms, not only combined sections.
From 1 comment
My feedback: The first things I looked for were primitive components, like buttons, forms, etc. to give me a sense of how the components would fit together cohesively. I only see…

Provide live previews of components rather than small thumbnails.

Applaud the effort, and I think this kind of project is a really good substitute for an info-product or ebook: relatively low effort to get started, lots of room to scale + grow…

Questions
What does the unusual Tailwind arbitrary-value syntax mean and where is it documented?
From 1 comment
I am familiar with TW, but not familiar with this syntax. Can someone explain or link to where it explains it?

jmduke on HNI just discovered tailwind after using bootstrap for a few years... Yes. It is amazing. Flowbite is the component library I've been using.
