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

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.

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

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.

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?

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?

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.

Too much JavaScript, I think using CSS to implement the same UI is better and simpler.

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.

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.

Interestingly, I am looking for the exact opposite -- I don't want my products looking anything like other websites.

The democratization of skill-learning is splendid, but boy is it hard to find a non cookie-cutter designer these days.

If you know anyone ..

if your product is a personal page or art/game, sure, understandable. Otherwise for apps it is beneficial to have consistent UI. It was the case for decades on desktops, it is true to a certain degree on mobile phones, and it makes users' lives easier.

You don't start from sewing your shirt to dress like a clown, you buy a weirdest cuff links you can find, and that suffices.

Well, I might start from researching multi Kinect coordination to scan myself, but I'm not a sane person. You probably are.

Well, your customers do. Having to relearn an entire new set of UI patterns for each site/application is exhausting for regular people. Don't make your users think.
