Is the UI component market over saturated?
There are UI components for every framework on the market; Tailwind, React, Vue and a lot of people are making them. Some of them made quite a lot of money selling them and some are offering them for free. In your opinion, is this market over saturated? Is there still room new ones?
Would be curious to hear what others think about that, in a way you get the feeling that a new UI-Kit or component library gets launched everyday, but I still think while there are lots of interesting solutions and unique approaches this isn't a solved problem yet.
From a developer point of view I feel like there's still improvements to be made in terms of how these are distributed and utilized within projects: I've been using a bit of TailwindUI lately and while there styling is top-notch, I've been wondering if there are cleaner approaches to utilizing their components than copy-pasting and adapting their premade sections into reusable components. Another thing they are pushing (as well as other projects) is the separation from styling (with Tailwind CSS) from functionality (which they have Headless UI for). Open UI (https://open-ui.org/) is pushing the same idea: standardized unstyled components for the web that can be styled individually. From a component-maker perspective, this enables focussing on styling instead of having to think about edge cases in the JavaScript behaviour and interactions of your components.
So I'd guess if (and I guess that's a big if) the web moves towards a standardized set of unstyled components that provide the low-level functionality and interactions, then there'd be quite a market for UI-Kits and styled components on top of these established standards (instead of each component-vendor creating polishing their own set of functional components).
