Business Wish.
A free, open-source toolkit of 50+ copy-paste Tailwind CSS components, 10+ motion components, and 15+ browser-based developer tools, no installs or accounts needed.
The Problem.
Developers frequently waste hours hunting for decent UI components or simple utility tools online, only to find they require account signups, subscriptions, or complex npm installations.
My Role.
- → Designed and developed 50+ Tailwind CSS components
- → Built fluid motion animations with Framer Motion
- → Engineered 15+ browser-based client-side developer tools
- → Created a unified, clean documentation and preview experience
The Solution.
A single, streamlined hub where developers can grab beautiful Tailwind components, fluid animations, and use essential web tools instantly, entirely for free.
Technical Decisions.
→ React Server Components allowed me to build 15+ interactive developer tools while keeping the initial bundle size incredibly small for fast loading.
→ Essential for a copy-paste component library. It allowed me to design 50+ components without worrying about global stylesheet conflicts when users drop them into their own codebases.
What Broke.
Balancing the sheer number of components and tools while maintaining a blazing-fast performance score was tricky. Keeping state isolated for the mini-tools without causing global re-renders required fine-tuning the component boundaries.
Outcome.
- → 50+ components, 10+ motion snippets, 15+ dev tools shipped
- → Gained significant traction as a go-to bookmark for developers
What I'd Do Differently.
"I'd implement a more robust tagging and search filtering mechanism from day one. As the library grew, finding specific types of tools and components became harder without a solid taxonomy."
