Show HN: Basecoat – shadcn/UI components, no React required Basecoat ports the upcoming shadcn/ui v4 [1] to plain HTML + Tailwind (no React): - Live demo & documentation: https://basecoatui.com - MIT‑licensed and free: https://ift.tt/0BViXYI - Works with any backend (Flask, Django, Rails, PHP, etc.) or static site. - Fully theme‑compatible with shadcn/ui [2]. - Uses a sliver of Alpine.js only for a few interactive bits (e.g. combobox). Swap in your own JS if you prefer. - Dead simple to use, just drop in a class here and there: Why I built it: after moving from a Next.js stack back to Flask + Tailwind + HTMX, I missed shadcn/ui and didn’t want walls of Tailwind classes (like Flowbite or Preline). Feedback is most welcome: bugs, requests for components, criticism. [1]: https://v4.shadcn.com/ [2]: https://ift.tt/Fls7JO5 [3]: https://pagescms.org May 13, 2025 at 04:22AM
