  Hey hn, I've built a performant, compact and composable Material library for React. It's based off of @material/web's official Web Components implementation.

  I am to use Tailwind as a styling engine, and I want to make it installable in-project, like shadcn. Kind of like a lightweight alternative to MUI.

  btw I'm already using this in a production project. Looking forward to your thoughts.

  This is cool.

  Quick question, how are you implementing the Tailwind styles? I'm assuming that the material/web use the shadow DOM to encapsulate styles, and therefore allow customised using CSS variables.

  So I'm a little confused why the global tailwind CSS seems to work
