TailwindCSS is free, TailwindUI is not. TailwindCSS is the classes that you apply to your html to style it, while TailwindUI is a component library that you can use.

Switching to bootstrap
Hi,
I've installed a new laravel app that uses inertia and jetstream. I was wondering if there was a way to use bootstrap instead of tailwind. When I go to tailwindui.com you need to subscribe to be able to get the code for the components. And since I'm not able to pay I would like to use bootstrap which is free.

Then is there somewhere I can go to for example get the necessary classes to create a table and buttons?

@Bastet Sure, there are a lot of sites offering templates for free.

@bastet Unfortunately you’d just need to remove the Tailwind classes, and use the Bootstrap-specific classes.
I’ve always thought it would be nice if the starter kits could use different CSS libraries like they allow you to choose different “stacks” (Inertia, Livewire, etc). But the Laravel team are all-in on Tailwind.

@martinbean thanks. I thought that might have been the way to go, but was hoping there was a way and I agree it would have been nice if they gave you the option

@Bastet I find it just as easy using regular CSS to make a table, style it and do my buttons.
