Introduction

The most easiest, free and open-source Tailwind CSS component library with semantic classes. 🚀

What is FlyonUI?

FlyonUI is designed to combine the best of both worlds: the aesthetic appeal of semantic classes and the powerful functionality of JS plugins.

Under the hood, it uses the strengths of:

  • Tailwind CSS: A utility-first CSS framework that helps you build beautiful websites with ease.
  • DaisyUI adds component sematic class names to Tailwind CSS so you can make beautiful websites faster, easier and Maintainable.
  • Preline JavaScript headless & fully unstyled Tailwind plugins for accessible, responsive UI. Enhance experiences with animations, transitions, and more.

Why should I use FlyonUI?

Using Tailwind CSS alone may lead to cluttered HTML with numerous utility classes, which can be a nightmare to maintain.

Apart from that Tailwind CSS or DaisyUI doesn’t provide any interactive headless JavaScript components like accordion, overlay, dropdowns, etc…

This is where FlyonUI shines.✨
