Adds semantic component class names on top of Tailwind. Ships dozens of themes; great for landing pages and admin panels.

04 / ACCESSIBILITY

Can teams ship responsibly?

CSS-first systems do not solve interaction accessibility by themselves; pair with tested primitives for menus, dialogs, and comboboxes.

05 / THEMING

Can it become your brand?

Excellent for custom visual systems because tokens and utility rules stay close to markup.
