Shadcn-UI

  • open-source component library designed for rapid UI development, primarily utilizing Tailwind CSS for styling and Radix UI for accessibility

  • It provides a collection of customizable and beautifully designed components that developers can easily copy and paste into their applications. This library emphasizes the idea that once a component is integrated into a project, it becomes the developer's responsibility to maintain and customize it, differentiating it from traditional UI libraries that offer regular updates and bug fixes

    • Moving away from UI libraries, and that downside of being bound to that framework
    • Blurring between UI, or component library and your own code
    • You can basically build your own UI library, but much easier than that would otherwise be. Plus you get the full customization, etc.
    • Works well with low-code things, like on vercel helper dev things
    • Can browse available components by searching e.g. video component with comment subsection
