Bearnie

Bearnie provides a collection of accessible UI components designed to work with Astro sites and Tailwind CSS. The components are delivered through a command‑line interface that adds them to a project, allowing developers to own the source code and modify it as needed. By installing the CLI (e.g., via npx bearnie init) users can scaffold a starter set of components and then customize or extend them to form their own library.

The tool targets developers building static or server‑rendered sites with Astro who want to ensure accessibility while leveraging Tailwind’s utility‑first styling. Because the components are not a fixed library but a scaffold, teams can adapt the code to match design systems, accessibility requirements, or project conventions without being locked into a pre‑packaged UI kit.

Bearnie is positioned as an experimental, open‑source project that emphasizes code ownership and extensibility. It is suited for developers who prefer to start from a base of accessible components and then tailor them into a bespoke component library for their specific applications.
