Motivation
Initially, my motivation came from the desire to create a website showcasing a collection of UI elements—the individual building blocks of a user interface, such as buttons, text fields, and navigation tabs. A big thank you to @julienthibaut for the button collection on ui/topia homepage.
As time went by, I wanted to expand this website to include not just UI elements but also UI components. At first, I was unsure about the kind of documentation site I wanted to create. Luckily, there was Fumadocs to bridge this gap.
Documentation web of ui/topia.
I know there are still very few components available at the moment 😅, unlike other famous UI libraries.
This project allowed me to develop my skills in creating effective website documentation, organizing and presenting information clearly, and exploring UI design and development. By curating a collection of interesting UI components, I stayed updated with industry trends and gained inspiration for future projects.
Ultimately, this project served as a stepping stone in my journey to becoming a proficient website developer, honing my skills in documentation, content creation, managing a monorepo, and creating beautiful UI components, while keeping the door open for future growth and expansion.
