Feedback wanted - Retire add-on kits?

  • July 27th, 2025 by Johan Ronsse

After some consideration, I am thinking to retire the add-ons and add all the Tailwind colors as well as the full kit of Lucide Icons straight in the kit file.

I initially thought I would make the kit as lean as possible, but I find myself always adding the colors and the icons for most projects, and it’s a bit of an annoying process. I know exactly how to do it as the kit creator, but I can imagine for others it might be a dealbreaker.

This decision would make the kit heavier on initial publish — the icon components lead to a slow initial publish time — but also easier to start designing with.
