## What it is
An unofficial, complete Svelte port of the Headless UI component library providing fully accessible, unstyled UI components such as Dialog, Listbox, Menu, Popover, and Disclosure. It handles keyboard navigation, focus management, and aria attributes while letting developers bring their own styling, and works as a drop-in foundation for Tailwind UI templates in Svelte projects.

## Use cases
- build accessible unstyled UI components in Svelte
- use Tailwind UI templates in a Svelte project
- implement a custom design system in Svelte
- add accessible dialogs, menus, and listboxes to a SvelteKit app
- handle keyboard navigation and focus management without styling constraints
- port React Headless UI components to Svelte

## When to choose
- you want WAI-ARIA-compliant components but full control over styling
- you're converting Tailwind UI (React/Vue) snippets to Svelte
- you're building a custom design system on Svelte or SvelteKit
- you want a Headless UI API nearly identical to the React version

## When to avoid
- you want pre-styled components or an existing design system like Material UI
- you need official Tailwind Labs support or affiliation
- you're not using Svelte
- you need commercial support
