Twitter UI Practise
Twitter UI is a beast to style. Practise with Next JS, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI and Storybook.
Overview
The project is a Twitter UI clone created using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Radix, and Storybook. Developed by a web designer with experience in HTML, Tailwind CSS, and basic JavaScript, the goal was to learn Next.js while recreating the Twitter homepage UI. The project acknowledges its flaws and welcomes suggestions for improvements.
Features
- Next.js: Used for building fast and scalable applications.
- Tailwind CSS: Utilized for rapid styling with utility classes.
- Radix: Integrated for creating variants for components.
- Storybook: Facilitates the viewing of components in isolation.
- Vercel: Hosting platform used for deploying the project.
- class-variance-authority: Enables creation of variants for elements, similar to Figma's component variants.
- classnames: Allows grouping of CSS utility classes for styling components.
- Text Component: Testing a Text component via a YouTube video.
Summary
- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Radix UI
Radix Primitives is a low-level UI component library with a focus on accessibility, customization and developer experience. You can use these components either as the base layer of your design system, or adopt them incrementally.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Vercel
Vercel offers built-in support for deploying and hosting Next.js applications, making it a popular choice among Next.js developers.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
