    Is there any news for shadcn? Otherwise I'm not sure there's much point to surfacing one of the most visible libraries in the ecosystem.

      Yea, was wondering this too.

    The epitome of all LLM generated websites. I used to use ShadCN but when every LLM defaults to using this UI, it just makes mine look LLM generated.

      The whole point of shadcn&#x2F;ui is that it’s customisable (that’s why the components are copied into your app as opposed to installed from a central npm package).<p>This is made easier with the &#x2F;create UI: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ui.shadcn.com&#x2F;create" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ui.shadcn.com&#x2F;create</a><p>People use it like a design system, but it’s more like a design system for design systems.

        The reason why customizing has some mild disincentive is because as you install more components, all the other new components won&#x27;t be aware of your changes. Otherwise it&#x27;s a great start for a custom design system.

      That&#x27;s funny. I thought ShadCN was LLM generated when I saw this thread and clicked the link. I didn&#x27;t realize it was the ancestor of all the other stuff.

      You can easily change the theme by changing the css variables. You might want to take a look at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tweakcn.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tweakcn.com&#x2F;</a>

        Ironically that site has a paid AI option.

    The most overrated ui lib in last 15 years

    We initially looked into using shadcn&#x2F;radix - but it&#x27;s quite bloated. Maybe even warranted with all the a11y accommodations - even the official W3C ARIA examples are not straightforward (most of the time).
