Best design systems?
I could really use a great design system (think: Bootstrap). Good looking of course. Lots of components so that I spend less time writing good. Well documented. I'd spend a lot of money for one too. Single digit thousands of dollars at least. More if I start bringing in good money.
I've spent maybe 10-20+ hours looking and am just unsatisfied with everything I've found. Right now I'm using Chakra. I paid for the pro version but am pretty unsatisfied with it. You have to do the work to create the (React) components yourself.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Tough problem that I can't believe is still unsolved.
I would start with https://github.com/shadcn/ui as a base.
I know right!
Hm, look solid. I worry about it's future though.
It looks like it's just one dev without a design background who is adding components over time when they personally need them, and providing it to the world for free. I'd feel more confident if it were a team that were offering it as a paid product because they'd have more resources to invest into the project.
It isn't a proper UI kit i think you can just copy the components.
I did the same with https://tailwindcss-radix.vercel.app/ a year ago or something.
Not sure why Tailwind team haven't invested more in React components, seems like a no brainer.
