Shadcn UI uses tailwindcss-animate, rudimentary animations like transitions for feedback can be added to any element using the data attribute as trigger. Custom animations can also be added to tailwind by the developer. I think shadcn UI is made unopinionated so you as a developer can make it opinionated and remain lightweight. Next UI is great tho, their figma design system is extremely helpful

Thanks, that was quick and very informational comperation! I will for sure use both from now on

oh amazing! great to know you can mix and match both of them!

A great comparison would be building two exact projects using either of these to compare the performance difference, and then finally a project with Next UI, where shadcn UI lacks to bring out the best of both worlds :D. Either way, thanks for introducing Next UI Josh!

mixing together, beautiful

Loving the NextUI

Learnt about Next UI last week from Jack herrington and fell in love immediately, animations, styling feels amd looks pure class.

haha I discovered NextUI yesterday when typing next-themes, fun to see a video on it!

Josh thanks buddy you are making us notified with trend technologies for long time appreciate that bro

Shadcn ui is the new bootstrap 🗿

next-ui for small project & shadcn-ui for larger project. Size & performance matters!

great sharing, thank you

I think the checkbox animation would give great user experiences on mobile screens with smooth touch feedbacks.

Mui Joy is doing great. It is also giving nice UI templates.

I think i like this Next UI

Very helpful, thank you 😁 Keep the NextUI content coming 😁

thank u for compare. it is very useful 🥳🥳🥳

love your videos bro

Thanks josh for this information.

nice video!

Love your use of the word "beautiful" , improves my mood by x2 every time you say it 😅😉

I like them both. I just found out about next ui. And it is good. Also how do you make a interactive animation light bulb with a pull wire that can be pulled to turn the bulb on and off?

Great!!!!

finally a mention in nextui, ive been trying to use nextui when i started learning nextjs, i find it really hard to work and modify. shadcn gave me a good flexibility and been using it. but yes the animation is better

Next ui is the best ui library for me

Nice !!! How about anima-te ícone ? Like Resend using? Some alternatives ?

Am glad I don't have to pick one over the other as I like them both!

next-ui for sure, but also like shadcn.

I've been looking at using shadcn and something like tremor for more graph/chart heavy stuff but I'm not sure how to implement global styling without it being a headache to manage and scale

From the both, I prefer shadcn. But I‘m really interested what Adam W. is building with Tailwind Catalyst 😉

Hey bro , have you tried combining both Shadcdn and Nextui together in a same project ?

Could you make a project using 'nextui' please?

Fancy doing some videos on testing with Jest, Cypress etc?

UI battle is endless. I think someone need to standarize Component name or class name. thanks to tailwind for starting it. I hope we can just install "A", install "B" like how we install VSCode theme

Spartan is cool for angular!

Hi Josh, big fan of your work. I actually tried to work with shadcn and nextui in the same project. But i had issues with the theme. You said both are completely safe to use side by side in a project but it leads to many design and color inconsistency. Can you make a video to setup shadcn and nextui in one project and control the theme from css styles just like shadcn themes. I would prefer Astro for video, but the implementation would be indentical on any framework, i suppose.

I really like Mantine UI, many components, hooks. It very simple to use and customize. In v7 it will change from emotion to css module. I'm waiting for it to be officially released to use with next. shadcn is also pretty cool for me, but it has few components

could you do a vid combining these 2?

Is it possible or good practice to use both in a large scale project for a startup or saas ? I just liked both as nextui provides a native feel and good animations and user experience, shadcn provides more useful components like carasoul and drawer.

Basically Radix UI Vs React Aria

I need some framework agnostic UI libraries :/ its too much for react only, it locks the ecosystem. (Im using react by myself, but right now i will be working on svelte so that opens my eyes)

Not on the Shad train at the moment honestly, I tried it in a playground project and I’m not a fan of the mountain of deps it adds to a project, and also I found customizing it to my web app’s design spec to be very hard and struggled to get the results I wanted. Maybe I’ll sit down with it some more and try to figure it out. Also gonna try React Aria, which I have high hopes for, this week in a playground. I mostly use UI libraries for dropdowns and modals and self-roll everything else these days.

I am looking for next js can do something like Astro transition. The best ui with 3 lines of code…

i want to know one thing, right now i am using styled-component/native for making my component library in react native app, but i am facing performance lag. what should be the ideal css framework for making component lib for react native app?

Shadcdn's Dropdown Menu removes the scrollbar of the page, making the unscrollable It sucks

How about performance in mobile? That's the main question.

Would using both of them not increase bundle size? Hence slowing app down?

What is the extension that you use that shows you the size of the imports?

I wanted to try out next ui, mainly because, while I love shadcn, setting up/editing the color schemes is a huge pain. I really don't like the fact that to add a colour you need to do it both in the css vars and then later in tailwind config. I mean it makes sense based on how it works, but it's still a bit annoying ya know. Also, I'm pretty sure you can in fact override the animation duration in some way, unless they specified it with the [] tailwind syntax for fixed value (which I doubt they would have done), and even then you can probably put duration-sm class on every component manually? After checking with the code, you could probably (for checkbox at least) do

It would be so cool if NextUI gave you the actual underlying code because the animations are almost perfect.

Let me tell yoou what I think... I think what you think :)

Daisy UI Supremacy

Next ui vs framer motion

What's the extension you use to show the size of the imports? It looks pretty useful.

cons: "some stuff i am not a fan of" lol. fair enough

Framer motion seems like overkill here...

Using both in the same app is it a problem ?

rainbow kit too

Can someone explain to me how copy pasting shadcn components is "the new hype"? Since when do we want to copy paste components, now they are already stale and un-updatable. Please make it make sense to me. (Also so many components missing).

I see next-ui few month ago, going better

NextUI is too expensive in performance but it's beatiful

How can I use both in the same project? I have been using Next UI, then I installed ShadcnUI and overwrite my libs/utils.js script and my tailwind config, breaking all my styles

only 50k subscriber more to 100k, not bad eh? 😃

People who says next ui is better, try it on production! I lost a lot of time because on production on mobile next ui animation doesn’t work same as desktop. I hate it!

I would say the nextUI is much better than shadcdn due to those animations because such animations makes the user experience much better and make your website more fluid and smooth.

Shadcn is cool only when you have design and time for customization. If you’re prototyping or don’t want to waste time for customizing, I would recommend MUI. Their components are really nice if you don’t mind of Emotion css (which sucks af)

can u please, put the link on the decription

Hey bro any idea about react native UI library except of react native elements?

Next UI put a lot of work in to this but for my tastes it doesn't feel responsive enough. Too much animation.

my Navbar from nextUI crashed when I installed shadcnui

what a bout preline ui ? i heard it is good

That's really cool with next-ui. But recently, I've worked with a large project and it seems to be really low performance and lag. So I decide to change to shadcn and it gives me more comfortable and lightweight on my project. So please don't use next-ui for large project just because its animations.

Shadcn is quite lackluster compared to Mantine.

Can we use both the libraries together?

Why not using SHADCN-UI with FRAMER-MOTION ?

Im still using bootstrap. Go on you'll can laugh.

Next UI is not clearly granted that it works with tailwind, they claim so but it doesn't seem like and it also feels material UI like to me which I don't want, though their components are realy neat!

Shadcn-ui is support rtl ?

any fellow ChakraUI enjoyer? 🙃

Bruh, you forgot the most important factor that is the main difference between the two, Bundle size and client side JS. ShadCN is not even considered as a component library, you don’t have to install anything, you just add some components code to your app, and this is what makes stand against all the traditional component libraries ✅

I was trying to use Shadcn ui for my personal project but it seems like the new node update just made it worse :(

nextUi is great but poeple are sleepn on it honesty

NextUI ist ja mal mega sexy.

I... still don't know why you'd use them together??? Surely you wouldn't pull in *another* UI library just to get slightly better animations on a few components? Just use next-ui then, no?

43kb for a spinner 😂

I tested Next-UI in a big projet ! It's really horrible, lots of bugs and unexpected behavior

I am a little bit in both worlds of these libraries. Yes. It saves you time. But for me, it is important to also build custom designs. And every time I do stumble upon sites that are done with "Bootstrap" - my heart just dies. I am a developer as well, but the designer in me do not love these UI libraries at all. You certainly would need to use 3-5 different UI Libraries, to be able to cherry pick all the great benefits of them all. But from a developer view.. I want just to use one of course.. I do like that html/css evolves, so that accordions and modals can be done natively with html elements, and powering with css accordingly. There are to many cons with every library.. Shadcn-UI wins. I can use it for all my forms - but then not give a shit about Divider, Scroll Shadow, Avatars and all bloat that for example NextUI has..

Isn't it a bit too heavy to have both?

Dont select your UI library based on animation.

Try daisyui

Why use two design libraries? That's a mess.

thanks nerd

Small animations are things I hate the most.

Typing...

First

As a lead frontend dev, please think long and hard before you animate your ui components.

Well shadcn is good for ssr. on other hand next ui is not.

no nextui is zero

shadcn is better, who needs delayed stupid/annoying animations?
