Magnus UI: A Utility-First React Native UI Framework

Hi guys, I am working on a UI framework Magnus for react-native that is heavily inspired by tailwindCSS.

Looking forward to feedback for the design for the homepage I created.

    What does Utility-First mean? How do you compare against other existing frameworks?

    1. 1

      Great question. Utilities actually mean helper props like for spacing, border-radius, font size, etc. (https://magnus-ui.com/docs/spacing/ ) Magnus heavily focuses on utilities for rapid app development. Other frameworks don't usually focus on these things. They just focus too many pre-built components.

        Is there another simpler, more well-known word for utility? I am a developer and I didn't know what utility meant.

        BTW won't having pre-built components make it easier and faster for the developer to build 90% of the stuff? For the remaining 10%, he can use custom CSS.

    Nice work @pawankumar2091! I like the layout and typeface choice. Any plans to make a react web version?

      Depends on the number of requests.
