Hey everyone! I've built a complete backend API for my blog, but I'd rather not create the UI from scratch. Is there a frontend-only framework available that includes all the essential components or even pre-built pages? Ideally, I'm looking for something that's framework-agnostic or supports server-side rendering (SSR). Thanks for any suggestions!

If you're looking to simplify your frontend development, I suggest going for server-side HTML rendering to send it directly to the browser. Using a single-page app framework like React might complicate things. For styling, Tailwind along with DaisyUI is a good combo for putting together your UI quickly. Also, what backend tech are you using? If it’s simple, consider building a static site with Astro or Jekyll and host it for free on GitHub Pages!
If you can't find what you’re looking for, would you be open to having someone else create the UI for you?
Are you specifically looking for something that’s completely framework-agnostic and supports SSR? Can you clarify what you actually need?
You might want to check out the themes available for Astro. It lets you use any framework you want, plus it supports SSR. There are several free blog templates you can find here: [https://astro.build/themes/1/?search=&categories[]=blog&price[]=free](https://astro.build/themes/1/?search=&categories[]=blog&price[]=free)
I’m looking for a frontend solution, like a CSS framework, that is either agnostic of any specific JS framework or that has components/pages that could work with a server-side rendering JS framework. Hope that clears things up!
