Building UI components from scratch can be repetitive and tedious, especially when you need them to be accessible, customizable, and performant.
HeroUI is an open-source React UI component library that delivers a beautiful, fast, and accessible design system based on Tailwind CSS and React Aria, helping developers build modern interfaces quickly and efficiently.
📌 Key Features:
✅ Reusable React Components – Buttons, forms, dialogs, menus, modals & more ready to use.
✅ Tailwind CSS Integration – Utility-first styling for full design control.
✅ Accessibility First – Built with React Aria for keyboard & screen reader support.
✅ Custom Theming & Styling – Override styles with Tailwind tokens.
✅ CLI Support (heroui-cli) – Streamlines setup & component inclusion.
✅ Modern Animations – Framer Motion support for smooth transitions.
✅ Modular Design – Import only what you need to keep bundle size optimized.
🛠 Technologies & Libraries Used:
💻 React – UI foundation
🎨 Tailwind CSS – Styling engine and design tokens
