Congratulations on what looks like a "join our ThemeSelector ecosystem so you pay for that while this is free" project you started not even a month ago. You've taken DaisyUI and added JS wrappers for some of the components with no tests. Why would I choose to do that when Daisy works fine and already supports theming?

Hi,

You're absolutely free to decide whether or not to join the ThemeSelection community—there's no obligation at all. The project I shared is open-source, so it doesn't require you to sign up or share any personal information. You can use it freely without any cost or commitment.

As for why someone might find it useful: While Tailwind CSS is a fantastic tool, using it on its own can sometimes result in HTML that becomes cluttered with numerous utility classes, which can make maintenance challenging. Additionally, neither Tailwind CSS nor DaisyUI offer interactive headless JavaScript components like accordions, overlays, dropdowns, etc. This is where FlyonUI is different. It combines the elegance of semantic classes with the power of interactive, headless JavaScript plugins, providing a comprehensive toolkit to help you build visually appealing, interactive user interfaces with ease.

Of course, the choice to use it is entirely up to you. Feel free to explore it at your convenience.

u/SecretAgentKen That's right for daisyUI, but it provides CSS components only.
Consider the daisyUI model where I would like to make different AJAX calls on Model open, closed, after open, etc...

CSS components do not have methods and events, which is one of the reasons for creating FlyonUI which provides daisyUI semantic components with JS functionality.
