Introducing TaxUI: A Modern Declarative HTML & CSS Framework with Zero JavaScript
Hey fellow developers! 👋 Like many of you, I've spent countless hours configuring build tools, writing endless strings of utility classes, or importing heavy JavaScript bundles just to achieve basic application layouts, responsive grids, modals, and dark mode. I wanted something different: a framework where writing HTML feels clean, intuitive, and semantic again, without sacrificing modern…
Hey there! After years of wrestling with intricate build setups, piles of utility classes, and bulky JavaScript bundles to simply lay out a basic application, I felt there had to be a better way. That’s why I set out to create TaxUI. 🌟
TaxUI is an all-new, ultra-fast framework built specifically for modern web development. Unlike traditional frameworks, TaxUI is completely JavaScript-free. Instead, it harnesses the power of native, GPU-accelerated CSS to bring your interface to life. Gone are the days of long chains of CSS classes; everything is defined through intuitive HTML attributes.
Some of TaxUI’s standout features include:
- Zero runtime JavaScript dependencies for lightning-fast loads
- Declarative HTML attributes like layout=splitted, card=glass, variant=primary, and theme=dark for easy component building
- Instant dark mode and six captivating color palettes (Blue, Emerald, Violet, Amber, Rose, Cyan)
- A complete suite of UI components like modals, accordions, tooltips, glassmorphism elements, responsive tables, shimmering loading skeletons, and modern form controls
The framework is impressively lightweight, with the full bundle weighing in at just 14.8 KB when gzipped. You can roll with the entire package or cherry-pick specific sub-bundles that start as small as 1.4 KB.
