Well, I am actually a developer working on Audemic but I do use our own product! I like listening to summaries of research papers about web development and related topics while I cook! This is on Audemic Insights the mobile app. Usually, the topics are quite complicated but I am hoping I can slowly become more knowledgable on these complicated subjects and research papers over time. Recently I listened to a summary about the pros and cons about using cross-platform mobile development frameworks. This was really relevant to me since we made the app with React Native and it is interesting to know some of the performance benchmarks as well as the ease of use metrics compared with the native single platform solutions.

The idea is really cool as a proof of concept. Additionally, it could be cool for one off pages. However, I would never use this on a real project since having a design system is a requirement for any project I work on. With a lot of UI component libraries gaining traction I would have to use a bespoke component which does not really adhere to my design system. Of course this might be added in the future and the fact that it already uses tailwind is a great step towards that but until then it is still a cool tool to get inspiration for some screens.

I use the Svelte Flowbite component library. The components are not as well built as other component libraries but it is still a very solid option. In this case it was my designer who picked it for the aesthetics. I wish the docs were more organised as it is kindof a mess to find anything.
