There are several Elm-UI libraries with the same name, and they don’t seem to be very user-friendly. Are there any UI libraries similar to those used by mainstream frameworks, and is there an Elm equivalent to Next.js for server-side rendering  
Has anyone used the Elm framework to build a complex open-source project? I recently started learning Elm and it took me a few hours just to make a todolist page

Check out [elm-pages](https://elm-pages.com/).

Here are some complex open-source projects:

- [GitHub - unisoncomputing/share-ui: The UI for Unison Share](https://github.com/unisoncomputing/share-ui)
- [GitHub - concourse/concourse: Concourse is a container-based automation system written in Go.](https://github.com/concourse/concourse)
- [GitHub - azimuttapp/azimutt: Explore, document and optimize any database](https://github.com/azimuttapp/azimutt)
- [GitHub - andrewMacmurray/seeds-game: Collect seeds, save the world](https://github.com/andrewMacmurray/seeds-game)

You can find many more examples at [Built with Elm](https://www.builtwithelm.co/).

Do you consider that a good/bad thing? I’m not sure from your wording. If you’re new to something I’d expect it to take a while to pick up. So doing it in several hours seems like a good thing.

Depending on your experience with web development in general you might be interested in seeing how Elm is used in a slightly more interesting project than Todos. If so, maybe check out [How I Built freeCodeCamp’s Calculator with Elm](https://calculator.tutorial.elmwithdwayne.dev/).

I built GPXmagic using elm-ui, then added mapbox, oauth, all sorts of stuff.  
It was soo much better than anything else I had tried.  
Why would you want server-side rendering?
