Most component libraries make you choose between accessible and themeable. I wanted both, without a build step or a configuration file the size of a novel.
Each part is styled with plain CSS variables and tested with a screen reader before it is merged. The documentation is the playground, so every example on the page is the real component.
Tessera has 48 parts, 3,100 stars and contributors in eleven countries. It won best developer tool at the Lowlands Design Awards in 2024.
