Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Install Qwik UI to add accessible tabs or accordions to a Qwik site without writing the interaction logic yourself.

REASON 2

Build a custom-styled dropdown menu on top of a headless component that already handles keyboard navigation.

REASON 3

Use stable components like Accordion and Tabs in production while avoiding still-in-progress ones like Carousel or Dialog.

REASON 4

Contribute a new component or improvement to the growing open-source collection.
