This looks like a really solid library and a lot of code for free. Many thanks to Dmitry / the team.

Thank you

Small aside: I’m still looking for a framework/UI library fully designed and developed micro-interactions. Even the best ones tend to have jumps that feel like glitches.
blvdmitry
do you have some examples of what you would want to get improved/added? We’re building an additional set of components now that could provide more of the micro interactions

The slider component's label just appears and disappears and looks a bit out of place in dark mode (this was the first thing I noticed on mobile). The switch isn't draggable and doesn't react to presses.
These were a lot less obvious than with some other libraries (including ones claiming to be meticulously designed ...) and I have to extend some props for almost everything that animates in also animating out (almost everybody messes this up and it irritates me a lot, just leave it unanimated if you're not going to finish it ...).
In total I think this is a pretty high quality library. Definitely not bad!

Looks very clean! Kudos for creating it. Switching tabs and navigating on the documentation page freezes the site for a couple of ms though. I'm on Manjaro Linux using LibreWolf v135.

Their Next JS server takes around half a second to render static content.

Thanks! Slow nav is a thing indeed and will look into it. Currently I’m having some server logic when navigating to scan which mdx files are available and also had a very basic auth causing me to use a server. With going OSS I can actually just switch to a static website export now

Fennec browser on Android here and same, switching between Documentation and Properties tabs in the docs takes half a second. I'm not sure if it's actually a freeze though, maybe a misplaced decimal point in an animation?

Looks amazing. I'm currently using Mantine alot and still super happy with it so far, but will keep this in mind. I just wish somebody would finally build something of similar quality for ReactNative. The existing solutions I'm aware of all fall short in comparison.

last time I looked mantine had some a11y issues, did anyone had to go through an a11y compliance check with it?

In the README the getting started takes you to the changelog, rather than getting started.

Thanks, created a PR: https://github.com/reshaped-ui/reshaped/pull/426

I'm very curious here. I don't see any pricing or call to pay or even donation option on the website. So are they both open source and no longer interested in getting paid?
blvdmitry
Hey, I used to sell this library for the past 5 years and happy with the money I made so decided to just make it more accessible for those who can’t afford it (the pricing was also more team focused). We’ll probably ship some additional components under as a plus license but core react and Figma libraries will stay free and open source

At the bottom of the article:
> I’m also interested in taking Reshaped further by introducing more complex, opinionated premium components on top of the core library. Not “50 landing page layouts,” but advanced components that require sophisticated CSS and React logic.

Something like Tailwind Catalyst UI kit [1]?
I'll be definitely be lining up to get one that has more variety.
Currently I'm trying out the recently released AI Elements [2] for its UI components tailored for AI-related stuff and pretty convenient for prototyping.
blvdmitry
I think Catalyst looks more like the core Reshaped library atm but we’re jamming on building the first component pack for more complex form fields and layouts. A few other ideas is indeed chat interfaces as well as layout/navigation patterns

Too much JavaScript, I think using CSS to implement the same UI is better and simpler.
blvdmitry
Good point. I’m trying to solve as much as I can with just css but a11y and minor implementation details require js, especially while a lot of newer apis require better browser support for now. Over time I expect those to move to native browser apis and become simpler

For whatever reason, each time I click on a menu item it feels delayed. Not like a "This appears to be loading info" delay, but a "It seems frozen and then something just appears" delay.
blvdmitry
Sorry, point taken, going to spend some more time on the website now that the oss prep is over

Yes, every link takes a feew seconds to load with no visual feedback it doing anything. Maybe work on that or put a loading bar at the top or show something.

Really neat! It seems backspace in autocomplete is broken: it does NOOP (OSX Safari & Chrome)
