Cruip Tutorials is a free GitHub repository of 40 HTML component tutorials built with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, maintained by Cruip as a companion to their paid Tailwind CSS template line.
What is Cruip Tutorials?
Cruip Tutorials is an open collection of ready-to-use code components hosted on GitHub, each linked to a full step-by-step article on Cruip.com. It takes no input—each tutorial is a self-contained HTML file or code snippet—and produces copy-pasteable front-end components such as modals, pricing tables, sliders, timelines, and menus. The repository is maintained by Cruip, the Tailwind CSS template marketplace, and is part of their free educational content.
Key Features
- 40 component tutorials — Includes modals, pricing tables, testimonial sliders, vertical timelines, accordions, dropdown menus, carousels, tab components, and many more UI patterns, each with source code and a linked article on Cruip.com.
- Tailwind CSS based — Every component is styled with Tailwind CSS utility classes rather than custom CSS, so it integrates directly into projects already using Tailwind.
- Alpine.js for interactivity — Many interactive components (modal video, dropdown menu, pricing toggle, range slider, tooltips) rely on Alpine.js for lightweight JavaScript behavior without a full framework.
- Plain JavaScript examples — Several effects, including particle animation, sticky scroll, text scramble, and background color changes on scroll, are built with vanilla JavaScript and HTML Canvas.
- Free to use — The terms of use permit personal, educational, and commercial use of the tutorials and demos as-is, with attribution retained.
- Non-commercial redistribution restriction — You cannot redistribute the tutorials or create derivative works with the goal of making money, though remixes for non-commercial purposes are allowed under the same license.
- Broad component coverage — The list includes common marketing-site pieces: pricing tables, testimonial sliders, card hover effects, hamburger menu animations, gradient text, masonry layouts, image accordions, and a nth-child selector cheat sheet.
Who is it for?
- Front-end developers — Learning how to build common UI patterns in Tailwind CSS by reading the linked tutorials and copying the working code.
- Tailwind CSS users — Needing a ready-made component (pricing toggle, OTP form, sticky table column) that can be pasted into an existing Tailwind project without pulling in extra libraries.
- Web designers — Exploring animated effects such as gradient borders, text scramble, and card hover animations to use in client or personal projects, with the freedom to remix for non-commercial work.
- Developers on Cruip template projects — Users who bought a Cruip Tailwind template and want to extend it with tutorials that match the same styling and Alpine.js patterns.
What can you do with it?
- Build a pricing page quickly — Copy the monthly/yearly toggle pricing table, the range slider pricing table, or the mobile-friendly pricing table components to add a dynamic pricing section.
- Add interactive elements to a marketing site — Use the dropdown menu, modal video, testimonial slider, or carousel with progress indicators to enhance landing pages without heavy JavaScript frameworks.
- Learn a specific animation technique — Study the particle animation, sticky on-scroll effect, text scramble, or gradient text reveal tutorials to implement similar effects with Tailwind and JavaScript.
- Solve layout problems — Refer to the masonry layouts, sticky column table, auto-growing textarea, and equal-height cards tutorials for practical CSS layout patterns.
FAQ
Is Cruip Tutorials free?
Yes, the repository and all tutorials are free. The terms of use allow personal, educational, and commercial usage of the tutorials and demos as-is, provided you retain attribution and do not redistribute them for profit.
What technologies do the tutorials use?
All components are built with HTML and Tailwind CSS. Interactive features are implemented with Alpine.js or plain JavaScript, and the particle animation uses HTML Canvas. No front-end frameworks like React or Vue are required.
Can I use these components in a commercial project?
Yes, commercial use is allowed as long as you use the tutorials and demos as-is, keep any copyright notices, and do not redistribute the tutorials themselves or create derivative works for profit.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation is required — the repository provides the code directly. For interactive components using Alpine.js, you must include the Alpine.js script tag in your page, but the source files are self-contained in each tutorial.
Can I modify the code?
Yes, you can create remixes or derivative works for non-commercial purposes as long as you follow the same license terms. The terms explicitly forbid making money from redistributed or derived versions of the tutorials.
