I've been testing these components recently and I've got lots to say about it: - Most of them look really good but the quality is not consistent (Checkout the 3D card, then go take a look at the buttons). - Almost every component I tried had performance issues. The animations are smooth when it's the only component you're rendering. But your frame rate will drop quite fast as you add more and more components. - Some of them (maybe all of them i haven't checked) are not responsive. For instance, the meteors effect has a hard coded width of 400px... If you want to use these into production, you will need to modify the component's code yourself in order to make them work like you expect. So overall good design but bad implementation.
I’m sure those performance/responsive issues will be fixed in future releases. Then you can just update everything to the latest version…. or wait a minute…
Vercel has money to burn , also it's free promotion to their name which is why a lot of people use vercel and not netlify even though netlify free tier allows for commercial usage whereas vercel's doesn't. Cloudflare , AWS , netlify are what I think of serverless nowadays
This is the perfect video to remind folks about the "prefers-reduced-motion" CSS media query. Some people genuinely get motion sick from these kind of animation. Bonus tip: designing your animations in a way that can be switched off gives you a way to do that when you notice performance problems.
Incredible work explaining the magic behind these UI libraries and their practical use cases. The section on customizing elements and diving into the code was enlightening.
I mean. We are at a point in JS where every project bare minimun is Typescript and Next 😂 The other day i wrote an API using only node and express and it felt so fast and performatic like if i had wrote koa in assembly. 😂
We have a money laundring portal ish for the goverment which we buikd opensource in vanillaJS. Is quite fast and was fun to do. Althrough there were some tasks where i'd like to have a reactive system (BE was django tho).

Radix doesn't give you "Vercel dashboard-like look". It's a completely unstyled library of basic primitives with focus on accessibility and ease of customization. Hence something like shadcn exists.
@taman1488 Which unique "functionalities" are inherent to Vercel's UI dashboard to justify saying ShadCn is giving you "Vercel's functionalities". It seems like a library giving you normal unstyled components with basic but boring to implement "functionalities" (markups and JS) figured out, an unstyled bootstrap where it's easy to hack the code at the end of the day, I can't see how it's "Vercel's functionalities" Edit : But I guess he means that by default and with the "slate" color theme it's true that their components would fit into the Vercel dashboard
@taman1488 I used quotes because that's not what I would usually call functionalities. I should have only quoted "functionalities". But that's the pov you where defending anyway, unless you were just making generalities.
It's not the future it's the past, just go to theme forest and you'll find tons of "highly interactive/crazy effects" things like that with the code available. The only difference is that here it's open source + using less crappy libraries that are a standard. And we always have the freedom to edit the code on open source projects anyway, that's also as old as open source, it's just easier to copy paste some "trivial" UI stuff that have few lines of code or to copy paste few lines from Stack Overflow than it is to copy paste and edit the code of really complex projects
Just write the component you need from scratch, it's not hard, and gives you full possible customization, and the level of performance you need. I don't understand the need for all these libraries that you can't really deeply adjust to your needs or you simply loose to much time to adjust them.
I am proud to see a UI Library by Indian coder are doing this amazing !!!, yesterday only i was trying to work with this and to a got to see it in Fireship video ❣
Only bad thing about these videos is that literally everyone is going to start doing it once the Fireship video comes out and it becomes played out in like 2 weeks.
looks cool, but definitely the type of thing you would probably only use on a landing page or some marketing bs. Can't see myself using most of this things on a more content-focused website, lol
Not a chance. It's for those "experience" websites that eat half of your computer so you can read the mission statement over 20 scrollpages in 10 minutes instead of a simple line of text in a second.
Very sweet albeit not the most accessible animations. I'd be cautious even targeting power users with hardware to spare. That being said, these effects are inspiring as heck and took me back to the early days of discovering CSS Zen Garden in awe.
Looks really cool, but it's probably better suited for front pages rather than entire apps. I can imagine load times could be quite high, and the end user would get annoyed after a while. Also, low-end phones be damned
I wish someone told me this about React 7 years ago when I first got into VueJS. It just seems that React has everything when Vue spent years trying to evolve from 2 to 3. I love it but I also hate it because it doesn't have such a versatile and complete eco-system of SaaS from authentication, mind blowing component libraries, payment services, CMSes etc. Crazy
At least you are still sane. Don't mind them, most of these libraries will come and go. I, for instance, hate learning react, but it got such market share. Vue is such a pleasant thing to write with SFC and other things, styled components could never get close to native (s)css. Fortunately, companies are starting to pick up Vue more.
for me the issue isn't performance necessarily. i think all flashy new things will have minor performance issues but you sacrifice performance for a fun experience. the problem I have in general is if I want to show off cool stuff I've made, like UI, gifs, video, those are the things eating up performance capability. and then there's no space left for the flashy stuff. but if you're only showing off static images and text these UI components seem pretty cool.
Concatenating long strings in JavaScript is a nightmare for efficiency! Use the "StringBuilder" methodology of pushing every string into an empty array, and then joining it at the end with an empty string. It makes a HUGE difference with large strings in JS.
I have that as well. It looks like it's showing when you have a nested function, element or anything nested. Not sure if I wasn't paying enough attention to notice it earlier or is this a new feature they implemented in VS Code
And so ends... The days of loading a webpage and being in awe of some creative dev who custom-made a cool animation. I honestly debate whether it is even worth going out of my way to learn raw CSS and JS and do things the hard way so I can actually MAKE stuff when I'm competing with the ability to throw together a collage of pre-made components in a fraction of the time with equally little effort.
a serious question - is Material Tailwind actually worth using? It's cost is around 89$ for a developer's bundle. I wasn't aware there are so many free libraries
Would this revolutionary copy-paste technology work in static websites too? I know JS scrips can, but I wonder how much of this can be used in a simple static webpage generator like Hugo
So what is your most preferred ui library for react, I saw many new websites, way smooth in flow and want to use a ui library for my next js project, which is quick and very smooth like webflow. Could you please help ?
@ 3:11 what even is that extension that "collapses" the code blocks or whatever it does on the top of the tailwind.config.js file? I need that in my life right now
ok this is an honest question here .... instead of this copy and paste stuff, couldn't one fork the library and change it however they want? This _feels_ like an anti-pattern to me. Otherwise I'm really impressed and I really do wanna use it ... I just don't to clutter my codebase with code I don't plan to change
Finally one component dev team stopped being smart asses about their implementations and decided to ship the actual code instead of predefined closed chunks that never fully fit the purpose anyway.
