Made with Alpine.js
If you’ve got something to share with the Alpine.js community, you can submit your link or reach out to me on twitter @hugo__df.
Here are this week’s Alpine.js adopters:
- questionsfromthecloset.com is built with Tailwind and Alpine.js, and is hosted on Netlify, by @richcorbs
- bohemicastudio.com is built with Alpine, Spruce, Tailwind CSS, Navigo, Anime.js, Eleventy & many other open-source libraries. It ended up as a pure JavaScript single-page-application with custom i18n functionality. By @BohemicaStudio, repo is at https://github.com/bohemicastudio/bohemica-studio-website
Demos:
- Dashboard template (should be open-sourced soon) by @ak_kamona
- Check Blend Mode, Gradient Overlay and Object Fit on HTML5 Video nice Alpine + Tailwind prototype by @klickreflex

Interesting project by @rehhouari: github.com/rehhouari/alpine-router, a router for Alpine.js. Has a pretty clean API as well.
Adopter Reactions
Ok, so I just used @Alpine_JS to add auto-dismiss for toaster notifications on @WayApp_ and it literally took 5s and one line of code… Mind officially blown !! 🤯 Can’t wait to replace all jQuery bits with AlpineJS now 🔥

My only gripe (and maybe I failed to find a proper solution) is the poor JS code organization if you need to do non-trivial stuff client-side only using Alpine JS.
