Reviewer scorecard
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
