Distinction from Melt UI + planned components

[FarazPatankar]

Hey,

To start off, Bits UI looks great. I am trying to get an understanding of two things:

1. When would you recommend using Bits UI vs Melt UI?
2. What other components are you planning to add to Bits UI? Are you aiming for a 1:1 match with Radix themes? I am specifically curious about whether things like Layout and Typography components will make it to Bits UI or are they more likely to be in Melt UI?

Hey @FarazPatankar,

At this time, the choice to use Bits UI vs Melt UI comes down to preference really. Bits UI is mostly powered by Melt UI, so that demonstrates the power Melt wields by itself, but some peeps prefer a simpler component interface rather than the builder pattern, and that's what this was made for!

The themes are Radix's styled project, so this project won't ever match that as we don't ship styles. You could make the comparison of Bits UI to Radix Primitives, but we're not aiming for a 1 to 1, we have different components like the calendars and may add additional components in the future.

That was a fast response, haha. I actually meant to link to Radix Primitives so my bad there. I think I confused the link as I was looking at the Layout/Typography bits and wondering about your thoughts on adding those components.
