Is DaisyUI suitable for very early-stage MVPs?

Yes. DaisyUI is especially well suited for early-stage MVPs because it allows teams to build usable, consistent interfaces extremely quickly without heavy design work.

Do I need to know Tailwind CSS to use DaisyUI effectively?

Basic knowledge of Tailwind is helpful but not strictly required. DaisyUI works out of the box, and deeper Tailwind skills become useful as the product grows and customization increases.

Is DaisyUI flexible enough for custom branding later on?

Yes. DaisyUI supports theming and custom styles, so you can gradually adjust your branding without rebuilding the entire UI.

Does DaisyUI work well with React-based MVPs?

Yes. DaisyUI integrates seamlessly with React and is commonly used in React and Next.js MVP projects due to its component-based approach and development speed.

Can DaisyUI be used beyond the MVP phase in a production product?

Yes. Many teams continue using DaisyUI after validation. It scales well and can evolve together with the product as complexity and user base increase.
