Listen, if you don't try my MCP server, you're a certified loser.
Because AI interacts with the Starwind UI exactly how I envisioned.
Bonus: it’s open source!

Is an llms.txt file actually useful?
I implemented one for Starwind UI and tried to have Claude use it in Windsurf
Claude 3.7 just wants to do everything itself rather than using the CLI. I have to specifically prompt it to use the CLI that it should use in the first place.

Wow. The new www.cloudflare.com has been built with Astro. Netlify.com already is, and I know Fastly is in the process of moving all of its sites. If you're a hosting company or CDN and you're not using Astro, you're being left behind!

I think "tailwind-variants" might be the answer
Looks like it can do everything I need from "class-variance-authority", and it uses "tailwind-merge" to handle class conflicts
Any other options?

Anyone else find it incredibly difficult to just stop working?
Me: just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sound of the crashing waves
My brain: what can we use to override tailwind classes for Starwind UI?
Me: begins furiously researching

Emitting a custom event seems the best way for external components to do something with a switch toggle.

I knew I would be an engineer when I was 15.
How? Video games.
I had well over 100,000 downloads on racetracks I made in Halo 3. I had learned all the tricks to making them and had interesting and differing design ideas.
I had the dedication to 1/2

Internal debate I'm having. Require "as" to convert Button to an anchor tag, or imply it when the user adds an "href" prop?
Requiring "as" only allows anchor tag props when you use as="a", otherwise all props validate
I'm leaning toward implying it, to remove the need for the "as" prop completely

The next theme might be a documentation theme. Adding starlight to a theme is challenging, as it's hard to separate tailwind styling from starlight styling. I ran into this issue while working on a docs site for another project
The challenge will be making it integrate well with existing themes...

When I first started learning web dev, I didn't know where to start
There are so many courses, youtube videos, blog posts, and more out there
The key is to just pick SOMETHING. Then get to work.
You'll quickly figure out which method works best for you, and you can then optimize your learning.
