A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.

I wanted a set of retro 16-bit inspired components for the marketing website of Patron and decided it would be best to make an actual component library for it.
All components in this library have styles following the BEM guidelines enforced with stylelint. Tailwind v4 is used through the @apply directive. This should be easy for others to contribute to if they so wish.
Colors can be easily customized by overriding the variables in src/styles/global.css.
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
āāā index.ts
āāā src
ā āāā components
| āāā Component
| āāā Component.astro
| āāā Component.css
āāā tsconfig.json
āāā package.json
The index.ts
file is the "entry point" for your package. Export your components in index.ts
to make them importable from your package.
