BIG NEWS: Oxbow UI is now free & MIT! Tailwind CSS & Alpine JS blocks and components.

Hello everyone, so this has happened last week. We decided to make Oxbow UI Free and MIT license because we are going to expand this big time. Every one of our 427 Tailwind CSS & Alpine JS blocks are open for you all to use.

Get them here
https://oxbowui.com/

How things are as of now.
The repository is open., but can not accept still any PR, because we have not cleaned up the repository and we have things that goes nowhere, but we will let you know soon as is open so you can contribute or do anything.

While you are free to fork, I aware of the slop on the repo right now, so if you have time to navigate through the mess…feel free to fork it. Oh and the documentation, only has pages for the buttons and for the colors, we did not have the time to craft more.

The plan.
We are crafting a design system, that then it will be used on Oxbow, so we will clean up all the blocks and use that design system, hence why is not open for PRs, we don’t want you to put time for nothing.

What can you do in Oxbow UI:

  • Copy and paste the blocks
  • Change between theme: dark mode , system and light blocks.
    In dark mode, you copy only classes so it looks like dark mode. In light mode you copy only the light mode clases, y system, you copy both, light and dark clases.
  • Download the blocks
  • Open the blocks in a new window
  • What we have done so far.

Main Categories:

  • Application β€” 245 blocks
  • Marketing β€” 160 blocks
  • eCommerce β€” 22 blocks

I hope you guys like and have a lovely weekend!

    Going MIT + free is a big move β€” the component library space responds really well to this, especially when Tailwind + Alpine is the stack. The main question is always discoverability: how do developers find it when they're mid-build and need exactly this?

    One thing that helps: when you use AI tools to generate content or docs for the library, structured prompts (explicit audience, use-case examples, constraints) produce much better output than generic "write about my UI library" requests. The quality gap is visible in the README quality alone.

    I built flompt for exactly this β€” a visual prompt builder that decomposes prompts into 12 semantic blocks and compiles to Claude-optimized XML. Useful for any open-source project generating docs or landing page copy with AI.

    A ⭐ on github.com/Nyrok/flompt would mean a lot β€” solo open-source founder here πŸ™
