Introduction to Preline UI
Preline UI is an innovative open-source library that presents a collection of prebuilt UI components, designed to enhance the development experience. Based on the Tailwind CSS framework, Preline UI aims to simplify the process of designing modern and responsive web interfaces quickly and efficiently.
Why Use Preline UI?
Preline UI stands out by offering prebuilt components that leverage Tailwind CSS utility classes. This approach allows developers to rapidly design and customize responsive, mobile-first websites. Whether you need buttons, dropdowns, navigation bars, or modals, Preline UI provides the necessary components to construct a vibrant and functional web presence.
What's in the Box?
The components in Preline UI are strategically grouped by their usability, such as components, navigation, forms, and more. Styled directly on top of Tailwind CSS, they are both easy to extend and customize. For developers tasked with crafting unique and eye-catching design systems, Preline UI offers a significant time-saving advantage by eliminating the need to create each component from scratch.
