Hey Vercel community! 
I’m Jessin, and I’m excited to share something I’ve been building - NexUI, an open-source UI component library for React built on the shadcn/ui copy-paste philosophy.
The best part? The entire thing was built using v0.app. From the component designs to the landing page - v0 was the backbone of the whole build. It’s honestly a testament to how powerful Vercel’s AI tooling has become for shipping real products fast.
What is NexUI?
NexUI is a collection of 50+ hand-crafted, accessible UI components built with pure Tailwind CSS and React - no package to install, no lock-in, no hidden wrappers.
- 0 KB bundle size — you copy the code, it lives in your project
- 100% yours to edit — plain
TypeScript+Tailwind CSS, no abstractions - MIT licensed — open source forever
- CLI support —
npx nexui@latest add buttondrops the component straight into your codebase
Why NexUI?
Inspired by shadcn/ui’s philosophy - you own every line. Browse a component on nexui.dev, copy it, paste it, ship it. No npm installs, no version conflicts, no runtime dependencies.
Works with:
