It will be sad if this UI library makes Tim Berners-Lee's long-term project Solid less visible: "Your data, your choice. Advancing Web standards to empower people." https://solidproject.org/
The name is Solid, the author uses SolidJS to disambiguate. He also has solid tattooed from before writing this library, IIRC a reference to a punk band he was in. Which doesn’t necessarily trump Berners-Lee, but I think both can coexist maybe?
I can already imagine the naming discussions if we were to build a Solid library for Solidjs. "Solid-ui-solidjs"? "Solid-client-solidjs-js"? Oh boy. We're currently using React for most things, but I could imagine switching to this if it takes off... that's going to make following conversations very confusing, haha.
Now that I say that and I've clicked around, I wonder which is canonical: "Solidjs", "SolidJS", or "Solid.js"? I've seen it all three ways.

In the future, people might build UIs for Solid using a (hypothetical) solid-solid or at least combining Solid UI and SolidJS: e.g. https://github.com/solid/solid-ui vs https://github.com/solidjs/solid
At least, if SolidJS is supposed [1] to be a name separate from Solid, why not call the repo solidjs like the org?

See also: https://github.com/inrupt/solid-ui-react, and the `https://github.com/inrupt/solid-client-*-js` names under Inrupt. (I helped build most of them!)
