About This Template

Basecoat is a lightweight, framework-agnostic UI component library built with Tailwind CSS that brings shadcn/ui's design philosophy to traditional web applications without requiring React. The MIT-licensed library provides accessible, themable components using primarily CSS with minimal JavaScript, making it compatible with any frontend or backend stack including vanilla JavaScript, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Django, or static sites. Components use simple class names like btn, input, and card rather than complex utility combinations, offering a more intuitive API while maintaining Tailwind CSS's customization capabilities. With built-in dark mode support, accessibility best practices, and easy extensibility, Basecoat delivers professional UI components for developers who prefer server-rendered applications or progressive enhancement over JavaScript frameworks. The library demonstrates how to create beautiful, accessible interfaces using Tailwind CSS without the complexity of modern JavaScript build tools or component frameworks. Perfect for traditional web applications, content management systems, server-side frameworks, or any project where React isn't suitable, Basecoat provides the design quality and component patterns of modern UI libraries while working with established web development workflows and technologies.
