ParrotUI: Simplified React Components–Seeking Contributors

3 points·ParrotUI··5 comments

ParrotUI is a new project aiming to streamline React UI development with easy-to-use, copy-paste components styled using Tailwind CSS. We're currently in heavy development and looking for contributors to help refine and expand the library.

It's better to seek contributors between your users. Do you have users? Power users?

I like to ask bug reporters if they want to send a pull request when the fix is easy. Sometimes it's more work, but it's a gateway to get contributors (or just happy users).

Thanks for the advice! I have some users and I'm figuring out who the most active ones are. Asking users who report bugs to send pull requests sounds like a great idea. I'll start doing that for easy fixes. I appreciate the suggestion!

This seems similar to https://ui.shadcn.com/ or is there a different approach here? Maybe you can contribute to that?

Yes, it seems also similar to other UI component libraries like Mantine and Ant Design. My goal is not to create very fancy components. My approach is to ensure users understand the UI components. If you inspect my website (which is still in heavy development), you will see the usage and code sections. The components are simple and effective. I really appreciate your comments. This is my first open-source project, and I am excited!

Nice! Good luck with it. Best way to learn is produce something like this and document it and so on.
