Hi Team,
I’m wondering if it’s worth purchasing https://tailwindui.com and use it in my Anvil Projects.
But the question is, is this possible?
Regards,
Joey
I’d be very iunterested to find out how. I see that its built upon tailwind.css so that might be a good starting point
Hi Joey,
The short answer is that you cannot currently use Tailwind UI directly in your Anvil projects. If you want to control the look and feel of your apps, you can apply CSS to the Anvil components, or build HTML template layouts, to make your app look as you like.
We’re working to improve the experience of using your own design systems with Anvil, so watch this space!

You can build and host a front end in Tailwind UI, or any other UI (I use metro4ui, MDBootstrap, and jslinb, each for various purposes), and use Anvil as a back end, using HTTP API endpoints.
Here’s simple CRUD example using jslinb (which runs on extremely old devices and browsers such as iPhone1, IE6, the Kindle experimental browser, and other ancient and otherwise useless/forgotten/unsupported platforms):
This little CRUD UI example connects to that same Anvil API and database using metro4ui (which is a nicely featured free open source UI kit):
