It's wild 🀯! ## **πŸ“š Learning** ### **[shadcn/ui β€” Theming Wrapped in a Tailwind Plugin/Preset](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJlTWj30krw&ref=tailwindweekly.com)** [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) is a very opinionated React component library based on [Radix UI](https://www.radix-ui.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) and Tailwind that has been gaining some popularity in recent months. In this video, our friend Simon shows how to use it and why you might like it. I have been following Radix UI for a bit and [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com) is exactly the type of project that can help with adoption. ### **[Creating a shine effect on a card with Tailwind CSS](https://ibelick.com/blog/create-shine-effect-on-card-with-tailwind-css?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** This one is short and sweet! You'll learn how to make a beautiful shine hover effect using Tailwind and how easy is to adapt vanilla CSS to use it as Tailwind CSS instead! ### **[11 HTML best practices for login & sign-up forms](https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/html-best-practices-for-login-and-signup-forms?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** A more general article but great nonetheless. This one is from Evil Martians, the folks behind *autoprefixer* and *postcss.* Just for that alone, the article deserves a glance and it didn't disappoint! I particularly liked point #8, will start implementing it on my forms going forward. ## **πŸ’… Showcase** ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/image-35.jpeg) ****[Sofa](https://www.sofahq.com/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** Sofa is one of those apps that makes you think "Huh, I didn't know I wanted that". It helps you "*create lists of apps, books, board games, movies, tv shows, podcasts, music albums, and video games to enjoy later*" and let me tell you, the landing page design is *very nice*. It has a kind of playful vibe with subtle colors and round font. Overall, a great landing page for a great app! ## **🎁 Resource** ![](https://tailwindweekly.com/content/images/image-36.jpeg) ****[Flowbite Icons](https://flowbite.com/icons/?ref=tailwindweekly.com)** Here's another great icon source for you all! The Flowbite icons site is very similar to Heroicons as in you can copy the icon's code right away and the search is great. I do like that Flowbite has brand icons, albeit just a few. Looking forward to seeing it grow! ## **πŸ‘Œ Promoted links** Note: Some of these links are affiliate links, which means I get compensated in some way if you buy through them but I promise I only recommend products I really like! **Become a Pro at building components & layouts with CSS Flexbox and Grid with the [Complete Guide to CSS Flex and Grid](https://tailwindweekly.link/flexbox-grid-book?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com)** ebook by [Shruti Balasa](https://x.com/shrutibalasa?ref=tailwindweekly.ongloat.com).
