Description
Here we should agree on a common theming configuration for our boilerplate. Currently, we're mostly using chakra-ui and theme-ui which are both very specific and uses emotion under the hood. That being said, we should choose which approach are we going to follow here. What do you guys think?
Until now I just worked with theme-ui and I like it, but I think we can give a chance to chakra-ui, since it was made inspired on theme-ui. Its more robust, and I see "more robust" as "more generic", and it can bring more flexibility to the Boilerplate.
I feel like I can't contributte much to this one. I've never used a CSS/UI framework beside tailwind-css (after a bit, I started liking it).
I'd really appreciate using emotion because we could interop it with rescript using bs-css 😅. But I'm ok if we end up choosing chakra.
I think chakra-ui is the best UI lib that we have. But we can discussed the pro and cons of using UI libs.
It seems that most of us agree on using Chakra UI. I'll just left my 2cents about it.
So far, I think it's really useful and improves performance (I'm currently working on a project using chakra-ui and another with plain CSS, and this opinion is based only on my own experience). I haven't worked with theme-ui, so I can't make a good parallel with it, but just with I've seen, I still prefer chakra-ui. Maybe @phenrique7 can talk more about it, since he has worked with both.
Regarding the pros and cons of using an ui lib, I don't see any relevant cons. I would like to read what you, @luisrondow, think about it (your comment made me curious). It is a good question, what are the cons that can make us choose not to use a ui lib?
Closed by #7. But you guys can continue discussing this here. Just saying we implemented chakra-ui since it was most voted option.
In fact, I'm going to close this, and we can open a discussion on this topic on the future
