This looks like a great collection, but I immediately have questions about quality when the are multiple sizing / overflow issues on the marketing page on my phone.
Actual license: “All rights reserved”. In conjunction with the glaring quality issues and the “Refer & Earn” nonsense. So many warning flags that this isn’t something I’d touch without a hazmat suit.
Applaud the effort, and I think this kind of project is a really good substitute for an info-product or ebook: relatively low effort to get started, lots of room to scale + grow if it goes well, and in general a good way of "getting in the reps" of building a business.
However — I think you need to spend a lot more time putting yourself in the shoes of who would use such a product. As an example, going to the "Modal" section shows me four very small thumbnails, of which I can only really discern the high-level structure and not any of the actual details. Having to copy and paste this into my own editor or something like CodePen just to see how it really "works" is a very rough feedback loop compared to all the other existing tailwind component sites (take, for example, how Flowbite handles it: https://flowbite.com/docs/components/modal/).
Also, for projects like this I like to have some level of social proof and your social media links in the footer are broken! That, coupled with the "trusted by 1000+ businesses", gives off some ... bad vibes, to put it mildly.
The first things I looked for were primitive components, like buttons, forms, etc. to give me a sense of how the components would fit together cohesively. I only see higher level combined components (pricing page, FAQ, etc.).
I feel that your website has various different versions of these higher level components (that don't fit together cohesively) and isn't that useful.

Do you think that's representative of average tailwind, or have you chosen a particularly horrible case?
Edit: looking around my codebases (granted I don't write much code anymore) most of it doesn't look like that, but a small amount of components do have some gnarly classes.
I’m a fan of TailwindCSS and use it when I can, but damn. That is an abuse of the Tailwind JIT compiler. Utility classes are not an invitation to abandon custom CSS entirely.
I don't know. Kudos for providing free tailwind components, but to me, this page looks broken on a modestly recent iPhone.
- overflowing text
- misaligned buttons+inputs
- horizontally scrollable pages
- screenshots with text in them but no heading: can't discern what the screenshot is showing; additionally, the pill-shaped things on top cover the text in the images in case I try to read it to find out where the link takes me
- "components" navigation item takes me nowhere? or to the start page? then why is it not highlighted?
- colors and shapes feel slightly messy and arbitrary

I’m not connected to it in any way but it seems like a well intentioned venture so I find the negative comments a bit harsh, even for HN

Also your site is broken on mobile.
