Show HN: Basecoat – shadcn/UI components, no React required

Summary

Basecoat ports the upcoming shadcn/ui v4 [1] to plain HTML + Tailwind (no React):- Live demo & documentation: https://basecoatui.com- MIT‑licensed and free: https://github.com/hunvreus/basecoat/- Works with any backend (Flask, Django, Rails, PHP, etc.) or static site.- Fully theme‑compatible with shadcn/ui [2].- Uses a sliver of Alpine.js only for a few interactive bits (e.g. combobox). Swap in your own JS if you prefer.- Dead simple to use, just drop in a class here and there: <button class="btn" data-tooltip="This is a tooltip text">Click me</button> Why I built it: after moving from a Next.js stack back to Flask + Tailwind + HTMX, I missed shadcn/ui and didn’t want walls of Tailwind classes (like Flowbite or Preline).Feedback is most welcome: bugs, requests for components, criticism.[1]: https://v4.shadcn.com/[2]: https://basecoatui.com/installation/#install-theming[3]: https://pagescms.org
