Should I mix UI libraries?

I get rid of daisyui

this was on the forum recently - Project - Automate common Phoenix tasks so you can start building your idea faster

you can customise to give yourself sane defaults

I don’t use component libraries or CSS frameworks, including what’s generated by Phoenix.

In my experience, it’s easier in the long term to write it all from scratch. Well not 100% from scratch because I sometimes copy & paste code from open source CSS and component libraries and then change it to fit my needs.

LLMs are pretty good at CSS these days, so you can ask them for help or just have them generate the code if you’re into that sort of thing. But you do need to think about how the components are going to interact with each other, how they will be composed, etc.

@AstonJ thanks for the edit. The goal is to find out if mixing UI libs is usual practice or not.

Some options for you Peter:

• Title & Section same as what you’ve got currently (best if this is specific to your particular situation and where there’s more than likely a single ‘correct’ answer).
• Title: Do you mix UI libraries? Is it common practice? Section: Phoenix Chat (best if you are seeking general opinions from others and where it’s not highly specific to your particular situation so it encourages more of a discussion or sharing of opinions rather than a single correct answer).

(Post content of each would reflect the above too.)

In terms of titles though they should be descriptive - people shouldn’t have to click on a thread to see what it is about

Thanks! I will use that info for my future posts.
