Which Tailwind component library has the most components?

Ninna UI has 67 components plus 54 blocks (full-page UI patterns). shadcn/ui has around 50 components. DaisyUI has around 30 component classes. Headless UI has around 15 primitives.

Is DaisyUI or shadcn/ui better for Tailwind v4?

They serve different needs. DaisyUI is a CSS-only plugin (zero JS), while shadcn/ui is copy-paste with Radix internals. DaisyUI is simpler but accessibility depends on your HTML. shadcn/ui has better accessibility but requires source management.

Does Ninna UI work with Tailwind CSS v4?

Yes — Ninna UI is built specifically for Tailwind CSS v4. It uses CSS-first theming with @theme, oklch colors, and @source inline() safelisting for classes in node_modules. No tailwind.config.ts needed.

Tailwind CSS v4's CSS-first rewrite made component libraries rethink their approach. The best Tailwind component libraries in 2026 are those that embrace CSS-first theming, utility classes, and the @theme directive — rather than bolting Tailwind onto a CSS-in-JS foundation.

Wrapping up

For Tailwind v4 projects, the key question is: copy-paste (shadcn/ui) or npm packages (Ninna UI, DaisyUI, HeroUI)? Copy-paste gives you source ownership; npm gives you automatic updates. Both are valid — choose based on your maintenance preference.
