I use shadcn/ui for side projects, mostly coding with agents.
Good to have a base design system for building products.
Are there any alternatives? Coded systems, not just UI components.
- dylmye 9mo agoI much prefer React Aria's components. Yes fuck Adobe but take their RadioGroup for example: https://react-aria.adobe.com/RadioGroup https://react-aria.adobe.com/RadioGroup Much better than shadcn's in terms of deps and LOC, and it uses an input. All of their components are built for accessibility first.
- kaizenb 9mo agoThanks, no love for Adobe but React Aria seems good. Saved, will look in to it.
- nobleach 9mo agoYup, agents LOVE Tailwind+ShadCN. Even when I've explicitly told them not to use it, it still creeps in. There's a lot of prior art out on GitHub and LLMs can't help themselves. FWIW, the result does tend to look nice enough. For a POC I can't complain. If I'm really going to roll up my sleeves and get into the code though? I don't think I'd enjoy all of it.
