Frutjam - A standards-first UI library for speed, built on Tailwind

by•
Next.js, Svelte, and Vue are built for performance — but a JS-heavy component library trades it all away. Frutjam is CSS-first and native-first. No JavaScript bundles, no runtime overhead, no layout shift. Buttons, cards, modals, badges — all pure CSS. Zero CLS, faster Time to Interactive, and semantic HTML with WCAG contrast built in. Your framework's performance ceiling becomes your actual performance — not just a theoretical one.

I built Frutjam after years of building multilingual platforms and finding myself stuck in a frustrating loop — chasing PageSpeed scores and fixing layout shifts caused by the very libraries I was using to go faster. Dropdowns blocking renders, modals adding kilobytes of JS, accessibility tags manually retrofitted just to pass audits. The turning point was realizing modern browsers already handle most of this natively. I didn't need megabytes of JavaScript for a button or a modal. So I stopped fighting the browser and started building with it. Frutjam is what came out of that — a CSS-first, native-first UI library where components just work, without the overhead. No layout shift. No JS bundles. Accessibility built in. Would love to hear how you're handling performance in your own stack — and what components you'd want to see next!
