Nira UI - Tailwind CSS component library

What is Nira UI and why should you use it?

Introduction: What is Nira UI?

Nira UI is a lightweight Tailwind CSS component library and plugin that provides a collection of prebuilt, high-level CSS class names.

Instead of chaining multiple Tailwind utilities together, you can use simple, semantic classes like button ,card, or alert making your code faster to write, easier to read, and simpler to maintain.

With Nira UI, you keep the flexibility of Tailwind utilities while gaining the convenience of a ready-made design system.
