Salt Life
The problem
Quasar was great while I was using it, but it ended up feeling large, cumbersome, and bloated at times, when all I was doing was building out a toy project which only relied upon a base card a text input and an output.
Other component libraries was an all in or all out scenario too. So I thought about it and wrote out NaCl (Not another component library) or Salt, still not sure what to call it but that works for now.
The problem really happened once I started liking this component library, but I had not yet saved it as a git repo, it was always just copied folder to folder.
Then the other problem was, most libraries hide the code. Everyones situations differ, instead of abstracting everything away into an interface for the user, this library will be a sane starting point for others to build off of.
The Solution
Build a component library which users can either import in full, with source available for modification, or as singular components. Sometimes you only need a card, or an input, and nothing else. Well here it is.
