Looking to build a micro SaaS, tool or templates for Tailwind CSS?
I'm a huge fan of Tailwind CSS and have built a profitable bootstrapped website builder on it.
There is still so much room to grow and I want to help speed it up!
If you have any ideas or projects built for it please share below.
I also wrote a quick blog post on how we can grow the ecosystem with a few improvements.

Hello, I love TailwindCSS. It is a life-saver for me as a dev. As a freelancer, I create pages with it, but I'm interested in starting a project using it. I wanted to create a project to sell components similar to Tailwind Ui that focused on admin dashboards, however I wasn't motivated enough and I am looking to find a partner with experience in growing a business.
That business is very crowded with some amazing folks including the Tailwind team.
I'm looking to grow the ecosystem and make it more viable to create other sorts of businesses and templates.
One thing I have noticed is a lack of local templates like laywers, plumbers etc
You could sell those templates for $10-25 each and create them quickly.
Let me know if that sounds interesting I can discuss how to market them etc.
Hello. Yes, this is one of the reasons I didn't get enough motivation, there are some awesome developers working on awesome components.
Your idea is really interesting, most templates revolve around digital services. I'll send you an email so we can discuss it further.
I've been using Tailwind on all my projects recently. Their component library (TailwindUI) is pretty good, I've used it on a couple of projects I'm working on for landing pages (unblokd.com, hardcover.app). And although I'd wish Headless UI was better maintained, it offers a lot of value. I didn't need to use anything outside the tools built by the Tailwind team so far, I'd rather build my own UI most of the time.
That said, I'd wish there was an opinionated page builder made in Tailwind where you could build your component library yourself. I hate pre-built stuff to be honest. I want to style my own components, and ideally export them as code individually. Kinda like it's approached on Storybook.
I've tried Versoly by the way and I think it's a huge effort that will pay off. My feedback is that I always feel, like most builders, that it offers me too much complexity and too little UI ease-of-use. As a front-end dev my vision for an ideal builder would be something way simpler but infinitely flexible, and Tailwind offers a great base for doing that.
"could build your component library yourself." that is coming in the future but currently focused solely on marketing sites as it is much easier and a very big market.
Any thing in particular for "too much complexity"?
Also you can close the style editor and just use the code editor and blocks. That has 0 learning curve for frontend developers.
In terms of components, I hate reinventing the wheel. But had to for Tailwind. I have basic button components.
