This template uses Tailwind CSS for styling, Lucide React for icons, and React Router for routing to provide a modern, flexible foundation for most React projects. These choices keep your code fast, beautiful, and easy to customize.
- UI: Tailwind CSS
- Icons: Lucide React
- Routing: React Router DOM
If you prefer another UI or icon system, feel free to swap out these dependencies.
