Shadcn UI adoption guide: Overview, examples, and alternatives - LogRocket Blog
"Shadcn UI is not a component library or UI framework. It's "a collection of reusable components that we can copy and paste into our apps." This reusable component collection was created by Shadcn, who has also created great open source projects like Taxonomy, Next.js for Drupal, and Reflexjs. Shadcn UI is built on top of Tailwind CSS and allows you to choose between Radix UI or Base UI as the underlying primitive. It currently supports Next.js, Remix, Astro, Laravel, and Vite."
"Shadcn UI was released in March 2023 and quickly became one of the most viral UI solutions in the web development ecosystem. As of this writing, it has over 105k stars on GitHub. The impact of the library has been so great that its creator later joined Vercel, where Shadcn UI is now used and promoted within tools like v0."
Shadcn UI provides a collection of reusable components that developers copy directly into their codebases instead of importing pre-packaged components. The library is built on Tailwind CSS and supports Radix UI or Base UI as primitives. Official support exists for Next.js, Remix, Astro, Laravel, and Vite, with guides for manual integration into other stacks. Shadcn UI launched in March 2023 and rapidly gained widespread use and over 105k GitHub stars; its creator later joined Vercel and the components are used within tools like v0. Recent updates (Feb 2026) add Shadcn Create, blocks, Lift mode, revised use cases, and updated comparisons with other UI libraries.
