I built a 659-component React library with a Ticket-Stub soul (MIT, zero deps)

Most component libraries look the same. I wanted one that feels like something — a well-printed admission ticket: warm cream paper, ink lines, a red rubber stamp. That's bigbullui, now at v1.2.0.

What it is: 659 copy-paste React 19 + Tailwind v4 components, 63 page blocks, 1023 hand-drawn stroke icons. Zero runtime dependencies — every file imports only react and a 7-line cn helper. MIT, no attribution needed.

Three ways to use it:

npx bigbullui add ticket-card      # steal one component
npm i bigbullui                    # take the package
npx shadcn@latest add https://ui.bigbullapp.com/r/button.json  # shadcn CLI works too

Blocks work the same way (.../r/admin-overview.json bundles the block plus its components), and npx create-bigbull-app my-app scaffolds a starter.

For the AI-coding era: it ships an MCP server so Cursor/Claude Code can list components, fetch source, and read theme tokens directly — no backend, it runs locally:

claude mcp add bigbullui -- npx -y bigbullui mcp

Try before you install: /create — pick components, icons, and a theme, get one install command. Or browse all 659.

Built in the open, feedback welcome — what's missing for your stack?
