5 reasons to use headless components

Headless components reduce development time, but also open up a whole new avenue for interfaces that can be generated on cue.

    Interesting. Would love to see some visual examples. Have a hard time imagining what the headless components would look like.

      If you check out the links to Headless, Aria, and Radix UI's in the article you can get a sense of how they look. The point of using headless components is that you can style them however you want. What they give you is functionality, interaction, and accessibility that has been well tested. You can take that and dress it up how you like easily because it's not coming pre-wrapped in styles and classes that you have to undo.

        Oh, interesting, will look further into this. Have you made you own library or are you using one of the ones you mention?
