Introducing Fylgja UI
Fylgja CSS has always focused on the layer below components. Good defaults, design tokens, and utilities that let you build whatever you need. But one question kept coming back. How do you actually build a modal, a carousel, or a pagination bar with it? Fylgja UI is the answer. It is a growing collection of components you can read, copy, and paste into any project. What it is This is not another…
Fylgja UI presents a collection of HTML components that can be easily integrated into any project, regardless of the framework being used. The focus of Fylgja CSS has always been on providing low-level building blocks, with good defaults, design tokens, and utilities to assist developers in creating custom components. However, Fylgja UI fills the gap by offering ready-to-use components such as modals, carousels, pagination bars, and more.
The components are written as plain HTML, eliminating the need for wrapper divs and utility class soup. They utilize native browser elements like dialogs, accordions, progress bars, and rating inputs, ensuring proper focus handling, keyboard support, and assistive technology semantics. Each component page specifies the required Fylgja packages and highlights any additional features provided.
Currently, the collection includes thirty components spanning various categories such as actions, forms, navigation, overlays, feedback, data display, layout, and sliders. Although this is just the beginning, there are plans to expand the library with additional components like tabs, tooltips, popovers, date pickers, steppers, and more. The developers also intend to provide framework-specific versions of the existing components and offer CLI support to streamline the process of adding components to projects.
The absence of a paid version or subscription ensures that Fylgja UI remains accessible to everyone. The project is maintained by a passion-driven developer who relies on community feedback, such as issue reports and feature requests, to guide future development. Anthropic's generous contribution of Claude Max for free enabled the swift creation of Fylgja UI, combining the efforts of the developer and Anthropic's AI assistance to produce a comprehensive set of components in a short period.
