The problem
Most projects rebuild the same buttons, forms, navigation and layouts. Heavy UI kits solve that but bring dependencies, theming lock-in and bundle weight you did not ask for.
The answer
What we built instead.
A free, open-source component library for React and Tailwind CSS. Version 4 rebuilds it around reusable, typed components: 691 examples across 134 pages of components, animations and blocks, from inputs and tables to pricing sections, dashboards and animated charts. Every example is written in TypeScript, can be copied as JavaScript, and previews in light and dark at any screen width. Around 380 developers have starred it on GitHub.
Copy, then own
ZenUI is not a package. Each example comes as a typed component plus a short usage file, so you paste it once and pass it your own data.
TypeScript first
Every example is written in TypeScript. Switch any code block to JavaScript to get the same component with the types removed.
Responsive and dark-ready previews
Open any preview full screen, drag its edges or jump to phone, tablet and desktop widths, and switch it between light and dark.
Templates, icons and tools
Beyond components: page templates, an icon set, a color palette generator, a shortcut generator and a Tailwind config generator.
How it behaves
From input to result, in 4 moves.
Browse
Find a component, animation or block on reactui.zenui.net.
Copy
Take the component file in TypeScript or JavaScript.
Pass data
Follow the Usage file and give it your own props.
Ship
No ZenUI runtime is added to your bundle.
Try it
Try the idea without leaving the page.
A small playground built with browser APIs. It shows the principle; the real tool does far more.
