That's awesome! thank you for the hard work. I love using skeleton for my projects. I'm excited.

[@roycrippen9617]

Skeleton has been my go-to at work. Thanks for all your hard work

[@sephyshen2510]

thanks for your work on Skeleton. The Skeleton is so awesome and the most beautiful UI compared to other Svelte UI libraries.

[@isaacdruin]

Exciting stuff! Floating UI looks really nice 😮

[@igamerxd8450]

Love you man, amazing creator!! Love you and your library and your code! Great work and admiration! Thank you for supporting and creating such a amazing library

[@zBrain0]

This looks really cool. Sharing to everybody I know that might be interested

[@dogoku]

Great library. I really like the theming layer. As someone who built multiple design systems and theming layers throughout the years, I can see this looks simple but is in fact very well thought through. Do you have a headless version of your components?

[@skeletonlabs]

Thanks for the kind words! In our upcoming v3 release, components are generated in such as way that they technically be used headless. They'll still have all the Tailwind and Skeleton primitive styles built in, but you'll have access to adjust or override them via an expanded set of style props for utility classes, or via more traditional CSS if you prefer. I won't say it's the easiest way to go, but it will be technically possible.

Any idea what the migration from Skeleton v2 to v3 will be like? Was just going to start my first project with Skeleton, but if v3 is a rewrite, I might just wait...

[@skeletonlabs]

We won't generate a migration guide until we have a full picture of everything that will or has changed. That said, there are some substantial changes. This will be the true definition of a "major breaking change", due in part because we're writing every component for Svelte 5. There's a lot that needs to change under the hood for this to happen (for the better!). I'd recommend comparing the v2 to v3 docs to see what's changed specifically on a feature-by-feature basis and especially around themes: next.skeleton.dev/

[@gregbuildstech-cn3cg]

​@@skeletonlabs Thanks! Sad to see app shell is deprecated. I can see why it's maybe not best practice, but it seems like a really quick easy way for us backend devs to get a passable layout on the page without spending hours fighting with grids and flexboxes.

[@FlintBits]

seems like a lot to abstract away popover

[@skeletonlabs]

Hey Flint, we think of Floating UI Svelte as an intermediate abstraction of Floating UI. We expect folks will be keen to handle their own local abstraction around the primitives we provide to handle, creating dedicated components for popovers, tooltips, modals, context menus, and more.
