I must be getting old because I literally don't get front end devs these days...

The landing page is like a few divs with some position centres. What would you even use a "component library" for in this case? The only thing on the entire page with any complexity whatsoever are the component demos (which are obviously part of this DaisyUI thing itself) and the code blocks/syntax highlighting, which I'm sure there's a billion libraries for already.

I'm really struggling to come up with any sort of other dependency that would help me build that page any faster than just opening the text editor and shitting out some HTML and CSS.

Do people just spend so much time working with Bootstrap and whatever other cruft that they just never bother to learn the basics?

At this level of simplicity and for churning out marketing pages where you don't care about maintainability, you're probably better off looking for a WYSIWYG editor rather than a library.



You must indeed be getting very old. The purpose of the library is not to implement its own landing page.
