What about bigger projects with more complex components? ShadCN doesn''t have multiselect with autocomplete, double range sliders and many other stuff, that is included in big libraries like MUI/AntDesign/Mantine etc.

[@belkocik]

Good point!

[@developedbyed]

Great point! I’ll pin it

[@fitimbytyci345]

@@developedbyedAlongside pinning, me and other watchers would hope to see your thoughts on this one, I can see you have already implemented Multiselect, so why don't you give an answer on how you did that, and also some recommendations on 3rd party libraries that will help us in times where shadcn hasn't implemented them yet. Cheers.

[@elhaambasheerch7058]

Agreed, but can create those pretty easily with shadcn, remember that deoesn't hide any code from you. so its pretty easy to customize.

[@developedbyed]

Should we keep the webcam in or out for future videos?

[@o_glethorpe]

What a silly question, in of course

[@denniskarg]

Ed, you're such a likeable guy, definitely leave them on. It gives your videos a very personal touch that makes your videos stand out. :)

[@tamaniphiri]

In, for sure🚀

[@myanimebase6486]

Definitely in, I love your expressions

[@ezrawebdev]

i like it! but maybe change your camera angle, or at least flip it so it doesn't look weird that you are facing the other way

[@rapidreasearchyt]

really excited too see ur next14 course buddy

[@mr.guydvir]

I really love the way you're gradually presenting the solutions you've used up to tailwind, while explaining the disadvantages of each approach that led you to change to the next one.

[@LennartBe]

Hey ed! Nice video. One quick advice or tip, if you continue to let us have your webcam in the video, try to position it so that you're looking into the video, not outside of it. That's a game changer 😀 keep it up

[@ilkou]

I see shadcn components as a starter to build ur own design system; there's a reason u copy the code instead of importing it from npm, it's all in ur hands, use it, adapt it to ur need, and extend its principles to build more rich and complex components !

[@scottclarke953]

I like seeing the presenter while they code. 👍👍👍👍 also could you expand on why you prefer Tailwinds. I have seen so many saying Tailwinds is junk. Thank you so much for your time. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@EL_PANDA_742]

NB: What if you have two user interface and admin dashboard which means 2 project at the same directory, and they share the same resources, I mean how we can customize the @components directory for shadcn in this case.

[@karan_panwar]

You create great video tutorials. ❤🎉

[@brancode404]

Hey Bro Will this course be updated in your Old Next JS ecommerce course ?

[@user-jd2rs8iw1g]

thanks for the video mate. can you do review of nextUI library? thank you

[@maddog2622]

Just started shadcn/ui on a real project and enjoying it so far. Still want to look into NextUI in the future, have you tried it?

[@sumonchandra5992]

I really love the "cn" approach of writing tailwind classes. I think the "cn" approach is now very popular for the ShadcnUI.

[@saviogmz1734]

What vscode theme is that? Looks beautiful

[@everythingisfine9988]

CSS modules are fantastic for scoping one off features. Its a simple yet effective tool to use in conjunction with style libraries and traditional global CSS 🤝

[@whoisshahmeer]

Which theme are you using man?

[@sukhrob-abdullaev]

Your Vs theme looks beautiful what is the name of this?

[@juanmacias5922]

I used MUI in my last project, and styling it was pretty similar to how Tailwind styles, it's not that bad.

[@Taras3D]

🔥🔥🔥

[@fwdflashwebdesign]

Is it still worth it to learn code with AI and all this changes?

[@codewithguillaume]

very nice

[@TheZhouh12]

how about nextui

[@user-rl2bf4rv7r]

What's the name of the vs code theme u use ?

[@developedbyed]

Material theme palenight!

[@BReal890]

and the font?

[@sohaibnoyyan8172]

Hey Ed you stopped showing magic tricks. Anyways you are the best creator out there!

[@DevGio]

Hey Ed I also pick shadcn and tailwind for all my projects as well. They just simplify the tedious parts of developing and allow to me focus on writing components quicker. And honestly, with shadcn, more beautifully

[@sammaxjorden]

ily

[@stevemolele6902]

🤣🤣🤣 How about now, man you're hilarious. Love the content my friend on the internet

[@selectorsaurus]

I prefer writing css with BEM methodology. And my opinion is that the markup and styles should be separated. So.. no Tailwind for me then :)

[@daviddixx6737]

Same here 😁

[@LukeRoberts1979]

I'm confused Isn't this now Bootstrap?

[@boniedwin]

mantine ftw

[@scott_itall8638]

I tried ShadCN for Svelte, had a look, got scared and ran away back to Daisy lol.

[@bn5055]

It's worth trying again. It just takes a little perspective shift from a "traditional" npm-installed component library, but if you want to customise stuff, it's so much better.

[@scott_itall8638]

@@bn5055 Still keen to use it myself just need to spend the time with it, soak it in.

[@enitan2002]

same for me as well. Couldn't wrap my heads around Shadcn after using DaisyUI for quite a long time. NextUI comes in second place after Daisy

[@scott_itall8638]

@@enitan2002 At the end of the day its all HTML JS and CSS so really doesn't matter what you use.

[@tylim88]

mantine is the best

[@clintkennedy8387]

The background music is distracting

[@neilmerchant2796]

I appreciate the point of the video, but there is no reason it should be nearly 20 min long.

[@fanxxai]

I think shadCN 📱 is trending

[@ts8960]

MUI is the best

[@alexkonoplian]

On small projects, Tailwind is a great choice, you can make your life a lot easier. But on large projects, it will definitely turn into a mess, and you will move away from atomic classes one way or another.

[@jaroslavhuss7813]

What is all about ShadCN? DaisyUI is way WAY way better! I do not understand the hype around it.

[@developedbyed]

it was never this vs that, I used daisy a couple of times it was pretty good

[@josephmgift]

I used daisy 🙃 only to switch to Shadcn. See, those themes, especially my personalized ones did not work on older versions of Android and iOS. I can't wait to see Shadcn grow, it's my go to now.

[@emmanuelezeagwula7436]

what the pros of daisy ui

[@bn5055]

DaisyUI is basically Bootstrap that happens to use Tailwind. It's not exactly revolutionary.

[@jaroslavhuss7813]

@@bn5055 What I super like about DaisyUI is it's simplicity... No bloated code, no needed extra state and much more... I just love it...

Because you're noob and everyone is following the same thing like a sheep

[@rohitkochikkatfrancis]

Lol....sure thing professional guy 🤣

[@CristianKirk]

Tailwind is freaking horrible. You have to call 10 classes when you only need to call one or none if you do a proper styling of HTML tags and/or parent elements. All this speech about "productivity" and doing things as fast as you can makes you look flaky and lazy, makes you look like you don't even care about what you're doing.

[@developedbyed]

Who upset you?

[@user-vg1sr9ye5s]

No

[@ethanrogers9627]

Write a little more up front to save maintenace time later. Output code is still lightning fast so no cost on that end. Why should we optimize for having the fewest CSS classes over write time and page speed?

[@bn5055]

Nope. You have to "call" 10 classes, sure, but 99% of them map to a single property and the rest map to 2 properties. So you're writing the same amount of CSS (which is automatically tree shaken by the way), you're just doing it with less typing, without having to switch back and forth between files, without having to come up with endless class names, and with a ready made design system built in. Hate to say it but it sounds like you're just regurgitating someone else's opinion rather than trying it yourself.

[@-Jakob-]

It isn't ;)
