It uses shadcn-svelte for nice looking components, and it should be faster than the old React-based UI.

      MUI is based on styled-components, which is awful if you don’t know exactly how to use it and just plain bad if you’re really good at it.

        I’m talking about SMUI, which is not based on styled-components. MUI is React, SMUI is Svelte, and they’re not related (other than both implementing the Material Design).

          Oh okay, my bad, sorry for my ignorance

          I’d like to retribute myself by adding that, according to my research, SMUI is based on SASS, which is nice because it compiles to pure CSS.

      I’m not close to web dev so I dont have context. Why is tailwind bad?

      Seems like a not-too-bloated alternative to react.

      I’ve been using the new UI since release and its been good.

          What a great article, it even mentions my beloved vanilla-extract, thank you so much!

          I never understood the love for tailwind.

          Yeah sure, move fast and lose all maintainability. That’s fine I guess in the LLM world of disposable software for like a landing page… but if you’re building an app or full website it’s an awful solution.
