Introducing UIAble — A Free, Open-Source UI Library

Rakesh Nakrani — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:33:12 +0000

Today, we’re excited to launch UIAble v1.0, an open-source component library built for developers, by developers.

We explored a lot of UI libraries built on Shadcn. Most of them feel nearly identical — same structure, same aesthetic, same tradeoffs. That’s what pushed us to build something different. Not another library that looks like Shadcn with a coat of paint, but a design system with its own identity and a clearer sense of what it’s actually for.

Why UIAble exists

After enough frontend projects, one thing becomes obvious: the same UI patterns get rebuilt again and again.

Inputs. Dialogs. Tables. Alerts. Dropdowns. OTP fields. Form validation states.

Not because they’re hard to build, but because most existing libraries never quite fit real project requirements. Some are too opinionated. Some pile on unnecessary abstraction. Some become rigid after initial setup. And some make simple UI unnecessarily complicated.

That friction is what led to UIAble. Not to launch another oversized library, just to build a cleaner, more practical foundation for modern frontend development.

What UIAble actually is

UIAble is a free, open-source UI component library built with Tailwind CSS, Shadcn-style architecture, and Base UI principles. The idea is straightforward: reusable components should stay flexible, readable, and easy to maintain.

Instead of pulling projects into a rigid ecosystem, UIAble gives you components you can copy directly into your codebase, edit freely, and scale without fighting the library.

No lock-in. No unnecessary abstraction. No dependency trap.

What makes it different in practice

A few things actually matter here.

You get the code. UIAble doesn’t hide logic behind layers of packaging. You see the component. You edit it. You ship it. That alone changes how teams work with UI.

It’s built for real product UI, not showcase pages. A lot of UI kits look great in demos and fall apart in production. UIAble focuses on the unglamorous stuff, forms that don’t break, tables that scale, modals that behave properly, inputs that handle edge cases, and consistent spacing without guessing.

Tailwind-first, not Tailwind-locked. It uses Tailwind sensibly, not as a religion. You’re not fighting class soup or structural quirks. You’re just working with clean components.

If you stop using it tomorrow, your code still works. Because it was yours from the start.

Who it’s for

UIAble fits best if you’re building SaaS products, shipping admin dashboards, moving fast on MVPs, or maintaining multiple frontend projects. If you care more about shipping than styling debates, it slots naturally into your workflow.

What’s in v1.0

The library currently includes buttons, inputs, alerts, dialogs, OTP inputs, tables, navigation components, and core form elements. Components were chosen based on what gets rebuilt most often in real projects, not what looks good in a component showcase.

Get started with UIAble in minutes. Everything is open source. Copy it, modify it, extend it

Where it goes from here

This is the starting point. We’re actively expanding with more advanced UI patterns, better form systems, improved layout blocks, and dashboard-ready sections. The direction is simple: if teams keep rebuilding it, it should exist in UIAble.

The source code is available on GitHub. The goal was never to feel like a product. It’s to feel like something you quietly drop into your project and then forget about, because it just works.

Top Animated UI Component Libraries for React

Rakesh Nakrani — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:30:00 +0000

Animated UI component libraries are pre-built React component collections where scroll effects, hover animations, mount transitions, and micro-interactions come baked in by default. No more writing Framer Motion configs from scratch on every single project. In 2026, the good ones are shadcn-compatible, Tailwind-based, and ship source code directly into your project so you actually own what you use. This guide breaks down the top ten, puts them in a comparison table, covers how they work under the hood, and gives you a straight answer on which one fits landing pages, dashboards, and lightweight builds.

What are Animated UI component libraries?

Pre-built React component collections where the animation layer is already handled. Mount effects, scroll triggers, hover states, loading transitions, all baked in so you focus on building, not animating.

Key traits of modern animated libraries:

CLI or copy-paste install: source code lands in your project, no locked-in npm package
Built on Framer Motion, Motion One, or plain CSS. Pick your performance tradeoff
Tailwind CSS for styling: no runtime injection, fully overridable
TypeScript support out of the box
Most follow the shadcn/ui philosophy: own your components, customize freely

Top animated UI component libraries for React

Library	Animation Engine	Best For	Lightweight?	Shadcn-based	Quick Note
Magic UI	Framer Motion	Landing pages	No	Yes	150+ components, free + $149 Pro
Animate UI	Motion	All-purpose apps	Yes	Yes (CLI)	Motion in every component, full ownership
Kibo UI	Radix / Tailwind	Dashboards	Yes	Yes	Composable blocks beyond shadcn primitives
Kokonut UI	Framer Motion	SaaS / marketing	No	Yes	Pre-built sections: hero, pricing, auth, dashboard
SmoothUI	CSS / Motion	Marketing sections	Yes	Yes	Small scope, clean execution, minimal bundle
TweakCN	Tailwind CSS	Theme customization	Yes	Yes	Visual theme editor for shadcn/ui projects
Origin UI	Tailwind / Radix	Forms & inputs	Yes	Yes	Accessible, production-grade form components
Hero UI	Framer Motion	Full-stack apps	No	No (standalone)	27K+ stars, prev NextUI, complete ecosystem
React Bits	CSS + Motion	Text & micro-animations	Yes	CLI install	37K+ stars, CSS-only options, JS Rising Stars #2

Magic UI

The strongest pick for landing page animation. Over 150 free components: scroll-animated heroes, gradient text, marquees, glowing cards, particle backgrounds. Copy-paste model means you own the code from day one.

Worth knowing: Magic UI is a marketing layer, not a full system. No form primitives, no data tables. Use it for visual impact, then handle the app UI separately

Animate UI

Shadcn/ui with motion baked into every component. Buttons, tabs, accordions, dialogs, all animate cleanly by default. Follows the Shadcn CLI workflow. Best pick for consistent animation across the whole interface without pulling from multiple sources.

Kibo UI

Less about flashy animation, more about composable production-grade components shadcn/ui does not cover. File uploaders, dropzones, advanced form patterns, data-heavy blocks. Built for dashboards and internal tooling.

Note: The project has seen some ownership changes recently. Check their GitHub for current maintenance status before committing.

Kokonut UI

One of the first libraries to support shadcn CLI installation. Ships 100+ animated components: hero sections, pricing tables, auth pages, dashboard blocks. Strong pick when you need pre-built page sections rather than individual animated elements. Pro tier at $99 one-time for advanced templates.

SmoothUI

Smaller library, but clean execution throughout. CSS and Motion-based animations keep bundle light. Good for tasteful motion on marketing sections without the full Framer Motion cost. Its limited scope is a feature. It does not try to be everything.

TweakCN

Not a component library. It is a visual theme editor for shadcn/ui. Modify Tailwind CSS variables through a UI: colors, radii, typography, spacing. Think of it as the branding setup step before you layer in any animation library.

Origin UI

Purpose-built for forms and inputs. Radix UI primitives, solid accessibility, and animations that are functional rather than decorative. If your project is form-heavy (auth flows, settings pages), Origin UI handles this better than anything else here.

Hero UI

Previously NextUI, rebranded January 2025. As per its official GitHub repository (github.com/heroui-inc/heroui), it has 27,700+ stars with 75+ components in v3. Built on Tailwind CSS v4, React Aria for accessibility, and Framer Motion throughout. Its own ecosystem: more design consistency, more lock-in. Worth it for full-scale applications; overkill for a marketing site.

React Bits

The standout of 2025. As per JavaScript Rising Stars 2025 (risingstars.js.org), React Bits ranked #2 with 37,000+ GitHub stars. Default starting point for text animations and micro-interactions in React. BlurText, SplitText, scroll-triggered fades, background effects, all CLI-installable. Many components are CSS-only with zero Framer Motion dependency.

Hidden truth about animated UI libraries

Most comparison posts focus on animation quality. Here is what they miss:

Animation quality is not the differentiator – A well-tuned CSS ease-in-out is visually indistinguishable from Framer Motion spring physics at normal playback speeds. What actually separates good choices from bad ones is code ownership, not how the animation looks.
npm package model = less control than you think – You are on their upgrade schedule. You work around their API decisions. You wait for maintainers to fix things broken for your specific case. Libraries that drop source files into your project let you adjust the duration, remove what you do not need, and ship without dependency anxiety.
Framer Motion costs ~43kb gzipped – On a Lighthouse-sensitive page, that is not catastrophic, but it is worth benchmarking before committing. React Bits and SmoothUI produce comparable visual output using CSS animations at a fraction of that cost.

Pro Reminder
If your client cares about PageSpeed scores, always run the next build and check the JavaScript output before locking in a Framer Motion-heavy library. The visual difference is often unnoticeable. The performance difference is not.

Demo content lies – Animated components look great with six words of placeholder text. Paste three paragraphs of real copy in, and many of them break. Test with actual production content at actual viewport sizes before you ship.

Rule of Thumb
The library gives you the component. Layout behavior under real content is your responsibility.

How animated component libraries actually work

Every modern animated UI library runs on three layers:

Layer 1: Animation Engine: Handles interpolation, easing, and timing. Framer Motion = JavaScript control, spring physics, gesture support. CSS animations = browser compositor, faster but less flexible. Motion One = Web Animations API, the middle ground.

Layer 2: Component Logic: Wraps React elements with animation state. On mount, transitions from initial (opacity 0, transform offset) to visible. Hover and interaction states trigger predefined animation variants via event listeners.

Layer 3: Styling: Tailwind in every modern library. No runtime CSS injection, full IntelliSense, and easy overrides via utility classes.

When you install via CLI, all three layers arrive as a single TypeScript file in your source directory. The animation config, variants, and class names are all yours to modify from day one.

Best animated UI library for React landing pages

Top pick: Magic UI is built specifically for this use case. Covers scroll-animated heroes, gradient text, glowing CTAs, sparkle effects, animated feature grids, covering the full visual vocabulary of a modern SaaS marketing page.

Also consider: React Bits for text animations at zero cost. Kokonut UI if you need full pre-built sections (hero + pricing + testimonials) rather than individual components.

Best animated UI library for admin dashboards

Top picks: Kibo UI + Hero UI – Kibo UI for complex interactive components: file uploaders, advanced inputs, composable blocks. Hero UI for the full system underneath: tables, forms, modals, navigation, consistent theming.

Important: Keep animations restrained in dashboards. Users interact with the same components for hours daily. Over-animation on repeated interactions creates friction, not polish.

Best animated UI library for a lightweight option

Top pick: React Bits – Many of its 110+ components are CSS-only with zero Framer Motion dependency. Install exactly what you need via CLI, nothing extra. JavaScript overhead for typical usage is well under 10kb.

Backup option: SmoothUI, specifically for animated marketing sections where bundle size is a hard constraint.

Benefits of using animated UI libraries

Faster development: animated components in minutes instead of days
Visual consistency: shared timing and easing across the whole interface
Built-in accessibility: quality libraries respect prefers-reduced-motion automatically
Code ownership: CLI install means no surprise breaking changes from upstream
Higher quality floor: polished UI without needing a dedicated motion designer
Easy customization: Tailwind-based means overriding any style takes seconds

Pro tips

Start free – React Bits and Animate UI cover most needs at zero cost. Evaluate before paying for anything.
Measure bundle first – Run next build and check JS output size before committing to a Framer Motion library. On performance-sensitive routes the difference is real.
Test with real content – Always paste actual production copy into animated components before shipping. Demos lie.
Combine with purpose – React Bits for text effects + Kokonut UI for page sections + Hero UI for app components. They coexist cleanly when you own the source.
Limit patterns to 2-3 – Consistent animation feels polished. More variety creates visual noise.

Conclusion

In 2026, building every animation from scratch is rarely necessary. Today’s animated UI component libraries are mature, reliable, and built to save time while improving the user experience.

Choose based on the project: Magic UI for landing pages, Hero UI or Animate UI for full applications, and React Bits for lightweight projects. If you already use shadcn/ui, Kokonut UI or Shadcn Space can add motion without changing your stack. Focus on the library that fits your workflow, not just the one with the most stars.

Shadcn/ui vs Chakra UI

Rakesh Nakrani — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 12:24:16 +0000

The choice between Shadcn/ui and Chakra UI depends on how you build your application’s UIs. For example, if you enjoy total control and flexibility while building your interfaces, shadcn/ui can work out for you.

However, if you like building your interfaces using already built components that only require quick configuration, Chakra UI can still work for you. By 2026, most developers will choose shadcn/ui.

shadcn/ui vs Chakra UI

Feature	shadcn/ui	Chakra UI
Setup	Manual but flexible	Quick and easy
Styling	Tailwind CSS-based	Styled system (JS-based)
Customization	Very high	Moderate
Performance	Lightweight	Slightly heavier
Learning Curve	Medium	Easy
Component Control	Full control (copy-paste)	Pre-built components
Best For	Custom design systems	Rapid development

What is shadcn/ui?

Unlike regular component libraries, where you install the package and import the components, shadcn/ui involves copying the component’s source code into your application.

This library is based on Tailwind CSS and Radix UI. Hence, you have access to accessible and structured components along with the liberty to customize all of them.

Imagine it as a collection of tools rather than a ready-to-use component library.

Some highlights include:

The ownership of the code
Freedom from dependency lock-in
Customizable user interface components
Great with modern web frameworks

What is Chakra UI?

Chakra UI is a widely used React UI framework that offers pre-made components such as buttons, modals, forms, and layout elements.

Its key features include simplicity and accessibility. It can be installed, imported, and utilized instantly.

Important points to consider:

1. Pre-made components
2. Simple to use
3. Accessibility features included
4. Community support

Pros & Cons of shadcn/ui & Chakra UI

Aspect	shadcn/ui	Chakra UI
Pros	Full control over design No unnecessary code Clean and modern UI Tailwind support	Fast development Easy to use Great documentation Built-in accessibility
Cons	Requires setup effort Not beginner-friendly No central updates Requires Tailwind knowledge	Limited deep customization Can feel heavy Styling less flexible Dependency-based

When to Use What?

Use shadcn/ui if:

You desire a distinctive design language
You value high performance and good code practices
You are already working with Tailwind CSS
You need complete control over your components
You are designing SaaS dashboards or progressive web applications

Choose Chakra UI when:

You want to build fast
You are a beginner in the React UI framework
You require pre-built components
You do not want to waste time on designs
You are building small to medium-sized projects

When NOT to Use

Avoid Shadcn/ui if you:

Are new to programming
Need pre-made components
Don’t have any knowledge about Tailwind CSS

Avoid Chakra UI if you:

Want extensive customization
Require full control over styles
Want minimal bundle size

Real-World Use Cases

shadcn/ui is best for:

SaaS dashboards
Admin portals
Design systems
Products developed by startups
Applications that use Next.js and Tailwind

For example, a startup working on an innovative and customized dashboard will prefer shadcn/ui.

Chakra UI is best for:

MVPs
Tools used internally
Simple websites
Quick prototypes

For example, a startup creating a fast prototype of an internal tool would prefer Chakra UI.

Why developers are Switching to shadcn/ui

Full Ownership of Code: You don’t depend upon the library because everything is under your control. Components are copied to your software package, and therefore, you can edit or remove anything unnecessary. You do not need to wait until an update arrives. It will save you from making changes to your software version.
Better Performance: No additional unused code. Only the essential parts will be included in your project. Compared to conventional UI packages that load many components regardless of whether they are used or not, shadcn/ui is efficient. This contributes to faster loading times and performance optimization, which is crucial for web applications.
Tailwind is Popular: Tailwind CSS has become popular today, and shadcn/ui relies on it. Those developers who are already using Tailwind can easily integrate shadcn/ui.This framework simplifies the development process by eliminating the need for switching between different CSS styles and components’ code.
Clean Design by Default: The UI elements appear up-to-date without a lot of hard work. There is no need to spend a lot of time tweaking the styles in order to make things look better. The default user interface is straightforward, clean, and goes well with contemporary design trends.
No Vendor Lock-In: Updates or changes in the library are not forced on you. In the case of traditional libraries, an update can break the UI you created. For shadcn/ui, there are no surprises. The code for the library is already inside your project and will only change if you want it to.
Better Developer Experience: Many software developers appreciate using component code that is clear and simple. There is no hidden logic and no abstract code. Everything is open and clear. This helps make things easier to debug and scale.
Easier Customization for Unique Designs: Today, apps require custom designs that would set them apart. With shadcn/ui, customization becomes easy because there are no restrictions regarding design systems. From modifying layouts, adding animations, to changing themes, doing so does not become challenging at all.
Fits Well with Frameworks: Shadcn/ui integrates seamlessly with frameworks such as Next.js. SaaS builders or dashboard creators have found this framework combination to be efficient, flexible, and scalable.
Rapid Growth and Popularity: Although relatively new when compared to other UI library projects, shadcn/ui is growing fast. Due to an increasing number of developers who contribute their components, concepts, and optimizations.
Perfect for Scalable Applications: When building larger applications, flexibility takes precedence over everything else. With shadcn/ui, it’s possible to build an entire design system, step by step. There are no limitations imposed by the library itself.

Conclusion

Both Shadcn/ui and Chakra UI have their strengths in 2026. It all comes down to what you want out of them.

Chakra UI is the way to go if you want something fast and straightforward.

Shadcn/ui will suit you if you need versatility and freedom to create something new and exciting.

Long-term software development will benefit from choosing shadcn/ui.

What is Base UI and why are Developers switching to it?

Rakesh Nakrani — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:08:09 +0000

So, what exactly is Base UI?

Base UI is an open-source library of unstyled, accessible UI components for React. It is built by a team that includes contributors from MUI, Radix, and Floating UI.

It ships with zero styles. No colors, no fonts, no spacing. Just the behavior: keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA, all handled correctly. How it looks is entirely your call.

Most UI libraries make decisions for you. They pick the colors, the spacing, the component shape. You work inside those decisions. Base UI flips this. It gives you the behavior, the keyboard handling, the accessibility logic, and nothing else. Every visual decision, from border radius to hover state, stays with you.

Base UI v1.0.0 reached stable status in 2025, shipping with 35 unstyled components. It has been picking up serious traction in the React world since then.

What’s the problem with traditional UI libraries

If you have spent time with Floating UI or Chakra UI, you already know the frustration. The defaults look fine in a demo. In production, with a real design system, that is where things fall apart.

Styles are locked inside node_modules and you cannot touch them without workarounds.
Overriding defaults turns into a never-ending task. You end up using the sx prop, stacking theme overrides, and still not getting the exact result you wanted.
You ship CSS you never wrote and do not need, just because it came bundled.
Accessibility becomes much harder to preserve once you start customizing component structure.

The result is a codebase that is half yours and half the library’s. Getting them to agree on a design direction becomes a constant negotiation.

Traditional Library vs Base UI

Aspect	Traditional Library	Base UI
Styling Control	Styles locked in node_modules	Zero styles, fully yours from day one
Customization	Override with !important or theme tokens	Style with Tailwind, CSS modules, or anything else
Component Control	Vendor controls component behavior	You own the behavior and structure
Performance	Ships unused CSS and JS with your bundle	Tree-shakeable, pay only for what you use
Accessibility	Accessibility breaks when you customize	Accessibility is baked into the primitive

What makes Base UI different

It is genuinely headlessHeadless libraries are not new. Radix UI, Headless UI, and Ariakit are all in this space. But Base UI brings a few things others do not:

Broader component coverage than many headless alternatives, with 35 components in v1.0.
Floating UI integration is built in. Tooltips, popovers, and dropdowns all handle smart positioning natively.
Backed by contributors from MUI, Radix, and Floating UI, so the long-term support outlook is solid.

The slots pattern changes how you customize. This is the part that gets developers excited. Every Base UI component has named slots, which are sub-parts you can replace entirely with your own markup. Not a className prop that goes three levels deep. Not a wrapper div you cannot touch. You swap the actual rendered element. Say your project already has a button component with its own styles and states. In most libraries, using that button inside a dropdown trigger is a workaround. In Base UI, you pass it directly into the slot. It works. No extra code, no broken keyboard behavior.

Accessibility that does not break when you customize. This is not a marketing claim. Base UI implements WAI-ARIA patterns properly.

Out of the box, you get:

Arrow Key navigation, escape key handling, and tab order, all correct by default.
Correct ARIA roles and attributes applied automatically.
Focus trapping in modals and dialogs so keyboard users cannot accidentally tab into the background.
Screen reader support that actually works without extra configuration.

Building all of this correctly from scratch is a week of work at minimum. Base UI gives it to you as the starting point.

What components are available in Base UI?

Base UI covers the components that come up in almost every real-world React project:

Base UI Components Overview

Component	What it handles	Status
Dialog	Modal with focus trap, escape key, overlay	Stable
Select	Dropdown with full keyboard navigation	Stable
Menu	Context menus and action menus	Stable
Tooltip	Hover tooltips with smart auto-positioning	Stable
Popover	Click-triggered floating panels	Stable
Checkbox	Accessible checkbox including indeterminate state	Stable
RadioGroup	Grouped radio inputs	Stable
Switch	Toggle switch	Stable
Slider	Range slider, single and multi-thumb	Stable
Tabs	Tab panels with keyboard navigation	Stable
Accordion	Collapsible content sections	Stable
NumberField	Numeric input with increment and decrement	Stable
Progress	Progress bars and status indicators	Stable
AlertDialog	Confirmation dialogs	Preview

Getting started in 3 steps

No global setup, no provider wrapping your entire app. Just install, import, style.

1. Install the package

npm install @base-ui/react

2. Import the component you need

import * as Checkbox from '@base-ui/react/checkbox';

3. Style it however you want

Tailwind, plain CSS, CSS modules, styled-components – Base UI does not care. Here is a Tailwind example:

<Checkbox.Root className="flex items-center gap-2">
  <Checkbox.Indicator
    className="w-5 h-5 rounded border-2
    data-[checked]:bg-blue-600"
  />
</Checkbox.Root>

Notice the data-[checked] selector. Base UI exposes component state as data attributes, which pairs perfectly with Tailwind’s variant syntax.

Base UI vs shadcn/ui vs Radix: The Honest Breakdown

This comes up constantly, so here is the clear version:

Feature	Base UI	shadcn/ui	Radix UI
Styles	Zero styles (Headless)	Tailwind included (Pre-styled)	Zero styles (Headless)
Setup	npm install (Package dependency)	Copy-paste code (No npm dependency)	npm install (Package dependency)
Customization	Full control via render prop/API	Full ownership (edit the source)	Full control via asChild prop/Slot
Accessibility	WAI-ARIA built in	WAI-ARIA via Radix (or Base UI)	WAI-ARIA built in
Best for	Advanced design systems (Flexible API)	Fast Development (Dashboards, MVPs)	Stable UI Primitives (Battle-tested)

Why are developers actually switching to Base UI?

Here is what teams actually run into:

Styling gets messy over time. A few overrides are fine at first. But as the project grows, every component ends up fighting the library. Base UI has no default styles, so there is nothing to fight.
Tailwind and headless libraries fit well together. Pre-styled libraries create conflicts. Headless ones do not.
Keyboard and screen reader support is now expected. Base UI handles focus traps, ARIA roles, and keyboard events correctly by default. You do not set it up, it just works.
Smaller bundles load faster. Base UI is tree-shakeable. Import only what you use, nothing extra ships to the browser.

Who should use Base UI and who should not?

Good fit:

Teams with an existing design system who need a solid technical foundation underneath it.
Projects using Tailwind as the primary styling approach.
SaaS products and dashboards where accessibility and keyboard navigation genuinely matter.
Component library authors who want battle-tested primitives instead of building accessibility from scratch.

Not the right fit if:

1. You are building a quick MVP and want something that looks decent with minimal effort. Reach for shadcn/ui instead.
2. Your project uses Vue, Svelte, or anything outside React. Base UI is React-only for now.

The Bottom Line

Base UI is not for everyone. If you want something polished in five minutes, pick a different tool.

But if you are building something serious, a product, a design system, a component library, it gives you a foundation that does not fight you. No style conflicts to debug. No overrides stacked three levels deep. No unused CSS shipped to your users. You write the design, Base UI handles everything underneath.

The mental shift worth making: stop thinking of UI libraries as style packs. Start thinking of them as behavior and accessibility engines. That is the role Base UI is built for. The visual layer is entirely yours.

Starting a Next.js Project? These are the best Templates

Rakesh Nakrani — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:16:01 +0000

When starting a new Next.js project, many developers spending lot of time in just setting things up. Things like creating layouts, adding navigation, setting up components, and organizing folders can take quite a bit of time.

That’s why many developers prefer starting with a template. A descent template already gives you the basic structure. So we get ready to use layouts, useful components, and a cleaner project setup so you can focus more on building your actual idea instead of doing repetitive setup work.
The problem is that finding the template is not always easy…

Some templates look great in the demo but are difficult to work with whereas some are outdated and others are missing features developers usually expect.

So I spent some time exploring and reviewing different Next.js templates. Based on my own experience and what developers often recommend, I picked a list of templates that stand out in terms of structure, usability, and overall developer experience.

Instead of writing long explanations for each one, I created a simple comparison table. This way you can quickly check important details like:

the tech stack used in the template
whether it has a free or pro version
if Figma design files are available
who created the template

The goal is to make it easier for you to compare options and find something that fits your project.

Here are some Next.js templates developers recommend:

Template	Tech	Pro Version	Free Version	Figma	AI Ready	Author
Berry	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	No	Yes	No	CodedThemes
Minimal	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Minimal
Mantis	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	CodedThemes
Devias Kit	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Devias
Zone	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	No	Yes	No	Minimal
SassAble UI Kit	React, NextJS, MUI, JS, TS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Phoenixcoded
Mira	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	No	Yes	No	Bootlab
Bazaar Pro	React, NextJS, MUI, JS, TS	Yes	No	Yes	No	UI Lib
SassAble Admin	React, NextJS, MUI, Vite, JS, TS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Phoenixcoded
TailAdmin	Tailwind, NextJS, TS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	TailAdmin
NextAdmin	Tailwind, NextJS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	NextAdmin
Cruip	React, Tailwind, NextJS	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Cruip
Magic UI	React, Tailwind, NextJS, Shadcn UI	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Magic UI
Horizon UI	React, Tailwind, NextJS, Shadcn UI	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Horizon UI
Sakai	React, NextJS	No	Yes	No	No	Primefaces

Things to check before choosing any template

We must go through these simple things before selecting any template as small details can make a big difference when you actually start working with it.

Here they are:

Tech Stack

First, see what technologies the template is built with. Some templates use Material UI, some use Tailwind, and others may use different component libraries. Choosing a stack you are comfortable with will make development much easier.

Updates

Check if the template is updated regularly. Templates that receive updates usually stay compatible with new versions of frameworks and libraries.

Figma Files

If the template includes Figma files, it becomes easier to work with designers. You can quickly adjust layouts or components without guessing the design.

Free vs Pro

Many templates offer both free and pro versions. Free versions are good for trying things out, while pro versions usually include more pages, components, and support.

A good template can save a lot of setup time. Instead of building everything from scratch, you can start working on your actual project right away.

shadcn/ui March 2026 Update: CLI v4, AI Agent Skills and Design System Presets

Rakesh Nakrani — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:23:20 +0000

The shadcn/ui ecosystem has just taken a massive leap forward. The March 2026 release focuses on making the library more modular, more portable, and most importantly, more intelligent. With the launch of CLI v4, shadcn/skills, and a new Presets engine, shadcn/ui is now optimized for the “Agentic Era” of development.

Check out the Official March 2026 Changelog and the launch announcement on X for the full breakdown.

Important Updates:

1. shadcn/cli v4: Safe & Inspectable Changes

The heart of this update is CLI v4. It’s no longer just an installer; it’s a sophisticated tool for managing project state. The major focus here is transparency.

Before writing any files to your disk, you can now use new inspection flags to review changes:

— dry-run: See a simulation of what will be added.
— diff: Check for registry updates and compare them with your local changes.
— view: Inspect the payload a registry is about to add to your project.

2. shadcn/skills: Bringing Context to Coding Agents

Coding agents like v0, Cursor, or Claude are powerful, but they often lack the specific “tribal knowledge” of a project’s registry or component patterns. shadcn/skills fixes this by providing agents with a specialized context layer.

By adding the shadcn skill to your workflow, you significantly reduce AI hallucinations and mistakes. Agents now understand Radix vs. Base UI primitives, registry workflows, and specific CLI flags. You can now reliably use prompts like:

“Create a new Vite monorepo.”
“Find a hero section from Tailark and add it to my home page.”
“Install and configure a sign-in page from @clerk.”

3. Design System Presets: Portable Design Tokens

Customizing a design system often involves tedious configuration. Presets simplify this by packing colors, themes, fonts, border-radius, and icons into a single, portable string.

Build: Use the new visual shadcn/create builder to preview and generate your preset.
Initialize: Use npx shadcn@latest init — preset [CODE] to scaffold a project with your exact design system.
Switch: Need a different look? Rerunning the init — preset command allows you to reconfigure your entire project and its installed components automatically.

4. Extended Framework & Template Support

CLI v4 expands its reach beyond Next.js. The shadcn init command now supports first-class project templates for:

Next.js, Vite, TanStack Start, React Router, Astro, and Laravel.
Base UI & Radix: Choose your underlying primitives using the — base flag (e.g., — base radix).
Direct Documentation: The shadcn docs [component] command now fetches documentation links and official code snippets directly from the registry, providing instant context for both humans and agents.

Summary

The March 2026 update makes shadcn/ui the most “AI-ready” design system available. By combining portable presets with the context-aware shadcn/skills, the framework reduces the friction between a design concept and a production-ready UI.

Whether you’re managing a complex monorepo or just trying to move between Radix and Base UI projects, these tools ensure your design system remains consistent and easy to maintain.

How AI Prompts in Mantis Simplify Developer Workflows

Rakesh Nakrani — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:53:11 +0000

Mantis React MUI Dashboard Template is a modern admin dashboard template built with React and Material UI.

When we started building Mantis, the goal wasn’t just to create another dashboard UI. We designed it for developers building real-world systems like admin panels, SaaS dashboards, enterprise applications, and scalable web applications where structure actually matters.

Over the years, we’ve seen how quickly admin projects grow in complexity. What begins as a simple dashboard often turns into a large, feature-heavy system with authentication layers, role management, complex forms, API integrations, and strict UI standards.

That’s why Mantis is not just a dashboard template. It’s a structured foundation for building complex admin systems with consistent standards and scalable architecture.

And that structure is exactly what makes AI integration powerful.

In my experience, AI works best when the environment is well-defined. When a project has clear architecture, naming conventions, and standardized patterns, AI tools can generate far more accurate and consistent outputs.

AI has become part of a developer’s daily toolkit. From generating boilerplate code and fixing bugs to writing documentation and refactoring components, developers now depend on AI tools throughout the day.

That’s where predefined AI prompts in Mantis come in.

According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 84% of developers already use or plan to use AI tools in their development work. Around 51% of professional developers say they use AI tools every day, which shows that AI is no longer a research and development activity. It is a part of actual development work.

Many developers also report clear productivity gains when AI is used well. Industry studies show that developers often feel faster and see productivity improvements of up to ~55% with AI assistance.

But there is a problem most people do not talk about. As AI usage increases, so does the effort spent writing prompts. Developers repeatedly explain project structure, tech stack, rules, and context. Instead of saving time, prompt writing can slowly become repetitive and frustrating.

That is exactly the problem Mantis aims to solve with predefined AI prompts.

Why does prompt writing become extra work?

At first, writing prompts feel simple. But in real projects, it’s rarely just:

“Create a dashboard component.”

Developers often need to explain:

The project structure
The tech stack
Naming conventions
API patterns
Authentication flow
Database schema
UI standards
Business logic rules

And they end up repeating this context multiple times a day.

Instead of AI saving time, developers spend extra minutes describing the same product details over and over. Prompt writing becomes another task on the to-do list.

What do “Predefined Prompts” mean in Mantis Dashboard

Predefined prompts in Mantis are ready-to-use AI instructions built specifically around how Mantis works.

They already contain:

Product structure
Feature expectations
Technical conventions
Output formatting rules
Business logic assumptions

Developers don’t need to explain everything from scratch. The intelligence is embedded in the prompt itself.

How agents.md gives AI full product context

Mantis includes an agents.md file that acts as a structured knowledge guide for AI tools.

This file helps AI models to understand:

How Mantis is organized
How features are structured
How modules interact
What standards should be followed
How data flows across the system

Instead of feeding the same product explanation repeatedly, AI models read from agents.md and instantly understand the environment it’s working in.

This dramatically reduces context repetition and improves output consistency.

How these prompts work with any LLM

One of the key advantages of Mantis predefined prompts is flexibility.

They are not locked to a single AI provider. Since the prompts already include complete product context, they can work with any major LLM or AI coding assistant.

Whether a team uses one AI tool today and another tomorrow, the prompts remain effective because the intelligence is built into the instructions themselves not dependent on a specific platform.

Predefined prompt levels in Mantis Dashboard

Free Prompts: What developers get with the free product

The free version of Mantis dashboard includes essential predefined prompts that help developers:

Generate standard features
Scaffold common components
Follow a consistent project structure
Reduce repetitive explanations

This ensures that even individual developers and small teams benefit from structured AI assistance.

Paid Product: Full access to all prompts

The paid version unlocks the complete library of predefined prompts, including advanced prompts designed for handling complex and repetitive work.

These advanced prompts are built for:

Multi-step feature generation
Complex business logic handling
Advanced form management
Data-heavy dashboards
Repetitive enterprise workflows

Instead of manually guiding AI through complicated sequences, developers can rely on structured prompts that already understand the depth and repetition involved in large-scale projects.

How do predefined AI prompts improve developer productivity?

When developers stop worrying about how to phrase prompts, they gain back mental bandwidth.

They spend:

Less time explaining
Less time correcting AI misunderstandings
Less time rewriting outputs
Less time repeating context

And more time:

Building features
Solving real product problems
Improving performance
Shipping faster

The result is not just faster coding…it’s smoother workflow management!!!

Why are product-built prompts more reliable?

Generic prompts often lead to inconsistent results because they lack product awareness.

Product-built prompts in Mantis are:

Context-aware
Standardized
Tested against real workflows
Structured around actual product architecture

This makes outputs more predictable and reduces the trial-and-error cycle that developers often face with generic AI usage.

Who is this made for?

Predefined prompts in Mantis are designed for:

Individual developers who want faster workflows
Startups building MVPs quickly
Agencies delivering multiple client dashboards
Enterprises managing large admin systems
Teams building scalable admin panels

Anyone working on structured, feature-heavy applications benefits from reducing prompt overhead.

Vuetify 4 is Live Now

Rakesh Nakrani — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:46:37 +0000

The wait is over, Vuetify 4 has officially been released. This major version marks a fundamental evolution of the world’s most popular Vue UI library. Based on the January 2026 Update and the newly published V4 Release Notes, this version is built for the modern web, focusing on native CSS power and streamlined performance.

Why was this update needed?

As the web moves toward native CSS features and sophisticated design systems, the framework needed to shed its legacy dependencies. Vuetify 4 addresses long-standing developer pain points:

Specificity Wars: No more fighting! important flags in your style overrides.
Modern Aesthetics: Moving from the older Material Design standards to a more refined, fluid design language.
Bundle Bloat: Transitioning from global resets to surgical, component-level normalization.

Material Design 3 (MD3) Integration

The most visible change is the full-scale adoption of Material Design 3. MD3 brings a more organic feel, better accessibility, and a highly customizable color system.

Dynamic Color Support: The framework now handles color transparency natively using CSS color-mix() and the relative color syntax (rgb(from …)).
New Elevation System: Vuetify has streamlined its elevation system from 25 levels down to 6 distinct levels (0–5), providing a cleaner and more consistent visual hierarchy.

Core Architectural Shifts

CSS Cascade Layers (@layer)

Vuetify 4 fully embraces CSS Cascade Layers. By using five top-level layers (vuetify-core, vuetify-components, vuetify-utilities, etc.), the framework guarantees that your custom styles take priority. This completely eliminates the need for high-specificity selectors when you want to tweak a component’s look.

System Theme by Default

The default theme has shifted from “light” to “system.” Applications built with V4 will now automatically respect the user’s operating system preferences. This not only improves user experience but also fixes common SSR “flicker” issues where a theme would snap from light to dark on page load.

Performance & Layout Improvements

Refined Breakpoints: Breakpoints have been adjusted to better match modern device sizes. For instance, md is now 840px (down from 960px) and xl is now 1545px (down from 1920px).
VContainer Optimization: The max-width calculations for v-container now round to the nearest 100px, creating more predictable and stable layouts across different viewports.
Flex over Grid: Core components like VBtn and VField have reverted from CSS Grid back to Flexbox to resolve gap-control limitations and improve rendering consistency in complex forms.

Developer Experience (DX) Enhancements

Vuetify 4 makes your code cleaner and your workflow faster:

Unwrapped Slot Variables: In VForm, variables like isValid are no longer refs. They are passed as plain values to slots, removing the need for .value in your templates.
Unified API: The slot naming for items in VSelect, VCombobox, and VAutocomplete has been standardized to internalItem, matching the pattern used in VDataTable.
Sass Variable Cleanup: Redundant Sass variables have been consolidated into more logical groups (e.g., $field-gap), making theme-level adjustments straightforward.

Conclusion

Vuetify 4 is a commitment to long-term stability and modern development standards. By moving toward native CSS features and MD3, it eliminates technical debt and provides a faster, more flexible foundation for any Vue.js project. Whether you are building a simple landing page or a massive enterprise dashboard, V4 is designed to stay out of your way and let you build features faster.

Our Commitment to Vuetify 4 At CodedThemes, we are always working to keep our users on the cutting edge. We are currently in the process of updating our flagship products- Berry, Mantis, and Able Pro to fully support Vuetify 4. Stay tuned for these upcoming releases!

Tackling UI Design Challenges in SaaS: Balancing Front-End and Admin Interfaces

Rakesh Nakrani — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 05:20:39 +0000

Hey Dev community,

As a designer and developer working on SaaS projects for the past few years, I’ve consistently run into the same design challenges. Most UI kits out there are great for front-end components like marketing pages, but they fall short when it comes to admin interfaces—an equally important part of any SaaS product.

In my experience, this often results in teams scrambling to design or code their own admin dashboards from scratch, which not only wastes time but also creates inconsistencies across the product.

This got me thinking: Why isn’t there a UI kit that includes both front-end and admin interface components in one place? Something that could cut down on design time while ensuring consistency across an entire SaaS product.

So, I started building a solution to tackle this very issue. The goal was simple: create a complete UI kit that includes not only front-end UI blocks like Hero sections, Testimonials, and Pricing tables but also fully designed admin components such as analytics dashboards, user management, billing, and more.

I’ve been testing it internally, and it’s helped reduce design time and maintain consistency between marketing pages and admin dashboards.

Why am I sharing this?

Because I’ve seen how much time and effort it saves, and I’m curious to know if others have faced similar challenges.

How do you handle UI design for both front-end and admin interfaces?
Do you use separate kits, or do you start from scratch for each part of your product?
Any tips or tools you’d recommend for creating consistent designs across your SaaS apps?

I’d love to hear how other teams and freelancers manage this process, and maybe we can swap ideas on streamlining workflows. Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, or any tools that have made your life easier.

Looking forward to hearing your perspectives!

Material UI is now MUI

Rakesh Nakrani — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 10:39:53 +0000

What is Material UI (MUI React)?

Do you know React.js? If yes, then you surely know Material-UI - One of the popular React component library. I must say Material UI is the top general-purpose library out there in the market. It follows Google’s material design guidelines, components, and tools to make web applications faster.

The origin

Material UI started as a React Implementation of Google’s Material Design specification back in 2014. The goal was simple, to entitle React developers to use Material Design.

The React community is excited about new features, so the MUI team keeps adding them.

Over 2200 developers helping hand to contribute so far with an aim to build the customer-facing application, tools, and mobile-hybrid apps. Now React Material UI is the best react component library out there in market.

This post is based upon Material UI turns to MUI, here I am going to use the MUI term for upcoming sections.

A Larger Focus in mind

Material UI had a survey last year about improving the Material Design, implementation was down by 60%. At the same time, 5x more developers were struggling with customizing the components.

Based upon that context MUI v5 in 2019. The primary focus was to give a new and improved focus on DX(Developer Experience). The new v5.0.0 release has new initiatives that broaden the MUI horizon.

MUI organization's goal is to become the most effective tool to build UIs while making access to as many as possible.

What’s new in MUI?

Let’s jump into the brand new MUI. Many people combine or synonym Material UI with Google. But the both Google’s Material Design and Material UI is identical to each other.

New Name

Material UI is now MUI. It stands for Material to build UIs.
It is quite shorter. Many people already used it for pronouncing Material UI.

New Domain Name

Moved from https://material-ui.com to https://mui.com. Its very easy to type and to find a mui.com on internet.

New Logos

The new MUI logo is quite the same as an older one. They removed the 3D perspective and keep it simple as possible to adhere to the new brand identity.

And lots more features.

While making Berry

Before making Berry - we have made a pre-plan that makes sense for our final product. We are continuously on track to overcome the pain points of our users. For that we have made lots of iteration processes with agile methodology.

Design Phase

Design is the most crucial part of Berry. You just “wow” when you see the Berry for the first time. We know it better that the user's first interaction is Design instead of looking further into code. So we got our first pain point - “The Design” or you may say “User Interface”. Now it's time to re-think upon our past experience & make some fresh interface which is out of the box in the current market.

In this phase, Mr. Olivier (Co-founder of Material-UI) helps us a lot to finalize the overall design aesthetics of Berry. We are also very much thankful to Mr. Olivier for supporting us in the whole project.

Development Phase

It’s magic time to turn design into reality, Skin needs a hard skeleton for standing in a crowd. For that Material-UI serves the role of Skeleton. It has everything you demand for your next backend project. From UI components to design engine Material-UI is out of the box for faster development.
Firstly, Berry is develop in Material-UI v4 version and while working version 5 is out with drastic changes in Performance. We have decided to migrate v4 to v5. Version 5 is our best decision to migrate Berry into it.

It takes us almost 3 months of time to develop Berry from scratch. Each line of code is written carefully with proper style & formatting.

You surely love the well commented code and easy navigation flow while using Berry for your next project.

Testing Phase

“Making a Dashboard Template is a big thing” - You need to take care of each aspect of Design rendering, Code Performance, Speed, Validation, Device & Browser compatibility.

For Berry - Our past experience plays a significant role in the Testing Phase. We have a huge portfolio in Admin Templates and know the process for the best practices for smooth testing flow.

Our main challenge is for Dark layout and Responsive testing in modern devices.

Each of our member from our team really worked hard to make Berry a high performance product. For responsive tests we have used the real devices that cover iPad, iPhone, iMac & Android devices. So you get a smooth interface in every corner of your project.

RoadMap

Considering Berry as our long-run project - we do continuous work on the following activities for future plans.

Knowledge Base for more easing help
Video tutorial series - Guided Installation videos, detailed setup process that makes less burden to work with Berry
Roadmap for future releases
Focus on detailing the Documentation
