## Implementation Approach

For each component:

1. **Define Props Interface**: Start by defining the component's props interface with proper TypeScript types
2. **Create Basic Structure**: Implement the basic component structure with proper HTML semantics
3. **Add Styling**: Apply consistent styling using Tailwind CSS classes
4. **Implement Behavior**: Add state management and event handlers
5. **Test Edge Cases**: Ensure the component handles all edge cases gracefully
6. **Add Accessibility**: Ensure proper ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation
7. **Document Usage**: Add JSDoc comments explaining how to use the component
8. **Create Examples**: Include usage examples in comments or documentation

This phased approach ensures that the most critical components are implemented first, providing immediate value while building toward a complete component library.
