Is this another Tailwind wrapper? Yes, it is.

Do you not use Tailwind? What is being wrapped? Designed and built this all as a Ruby gem, you can one-click install if you want to build prototypes with Rails even faster. I suppose you're not the target customer, but thanks for chiming in.

But this one costs $799 a year.

  • Pricing page if anyone else is curious: https://railsui.com/pricing

    "Solo" plan is $299/year (1 seat), "Team" plan is $799/year (30 seats), larger plans are "inquire now".

    • I'm not saying this product is good or bad, because I have no idea, but this is priced too low for it's claimed value prop, not too high. 25% of a decked out developer Macbook for something that sets the look and feel of an app and forestalls an entire designer hire is an unseriously low price.

      I'm not saying the product is unserious; just that developers are generally unserious about pricing.

What does this even mean? Tailwind isn't like Bootstrap; it's a way of structuring styles, not a design language of its own.
