Something similar to Tailwindui in Bootstrap framework πŸ˜›

Hi guys,

I have an idea to build something similar to Tailwindui for Bootstrap developers.

I just started with the landing page package and published a few free examples at https://frontendor.com

What do you think guys?

    The idea made sense for Tailwind UI because Tailwind is so low level there was nothing for people who just wanted pre-built UI components out of the box. The same would be a huge value add for any utility class CSS framework.

    In contrast, Bootstrap already is full UI components. Where it struggles is with tweaking and overriding those components without running into headaches with selector specificity.

    I think you'd have a better shot making more components for Tailwind than focusing on Bootstrap. Maybe pick a niche Tailwind doesn't focus on, like blog themes.

    Love it. Good work.

    Bootstrap already has 100s of UI kits.

    What would make you unique? or able to market it differently?

    I have seen a lot of IHs do templates but most never make more than their freelance rate.

      Hi Volkan, download these blocks and check it out by yourself. It's easy to use & customize with zero complexity (HTML & CSS only) + simple design that works for anyone.

      Our goal is to create HTML blocks with a clean, easy-to-use code. At the same time, we are working on our Frontendor builder which will speed up the process of using these beautiful HTML blocks and customize as you wish.

        We plan on adding custom templates to http://versoly.com/ so if you can get your blocks working inside it, could be cool :P

        The goal would be able to give your customers a code they could enter into Versoly to unlock your blocks and templates all for free.

          Thanks, as a start, we will focus on finalizing as many HTML blocks as possible, then focus more on our Frontendor builder.

          I checked your website. Not bad!
          I think you should improve your Templates UX/UI. Good luck :)

            New much better templates are coming soon, we focused on the core platform first as you can have amazing templates but if the platform doesn't work customers will churn.

            I tried to get a ton of bootstrap developers and template builders to use our platform but they rather sell for $20 on themeforest and earn $10 once than earn $10 per month on Versoly (if they sent us the customer).

            A lot of them also tried to build website builders not one of them has done well i believe.

    I'll be honest when I clicked on the link I thought it was tailwind ui. You've chosen a very similar theme and color pallet.

      Hahaha for me it's different, we have few blocks in common and even the colors are different.
