Congrats on the launch Vlad! Radix Themes looks great. I wish it was already present when I started working on EnVsion :(. I'm tempted to give it a go for my next side project :).
There are quite a few component libraries these days. What differentiates you from Chakra UI for instance?
Thank you, Eddie! Let us know how it goes if you decide to try out Radix Themes for your side project.
Here’s what differentiates Radix Themes from other component libraries:
We hope that Radix Themes stands out with a considered, sensible, consistent developer API and world-class visual design. Beyond that, Radix Themes doesn’t suggest a particular styling solution and doesn’t rely on JavaScript libraries like emotion for styling. You can use Radix Themes with other CSS tech with no extra overhead coming from us on that side.
Radix Themes also aims to strike the right balance between feeling flexible and feeling rigid where it counts. All functionality from Radix Primitives is there. However, you may notice that we are quite conservative with the styling options exposed on the components—there’s no `sx` or `css` prop. Beyond simple overrides and configuration, we rather encourage using the components and their variants as is; custom components and your unique versions can be created with the token system that we provide. We believe that over time, this will guide our users towards the right choices, building the UIs that are a joy to maintain.
Wow, that's really cool! Especially the fact that it's built on top of Radix Primitives.
Perfection! It really shows that you have thought about the DX and APIs all the way through, there are so many good and clever features here. I've always been a fan of Radix, but this is one level higher in abstraction, making it so easy to get up and going. The theme component is genius as well.
As for feedback and questions, and I guess you guys already have a huge backlog, but, are you planning on porting over more of your primitives to the theme side, like the toast and form? Furthermore, components like pagination, editable, and even calendar/time-related components, would be such a blessing to have baked in. Also, modifiers for shadows, etc in the theme panel. Either way, great work, cheers!
@gustav_ekerot thank you! Yes, we plan to create a styled version of every Radix Primitive, and do more components that don’t qualify for being primitives over time. What were you looking for in terms of shadow customisation?
@vladyslavmoroz I was thinking having a few levels of soft-to-hard/small-to-large shadows buttons/sliders(?), minor thing though, can't wait too see more components!
Awesome 👏 great tool. We are looking to use react to build a new app now that we’re moving on from a no-code platform. Will ask our Dev team to check this out!
Radix Themes is the future of web development. It's the only component library you'll ever need.
I'm loving Radix Themes! It's the perfect way to build consistent, high-quality UIs without sacrificing speed or flexibility.
Congrats on the launch!! Heavy Radix fan here and also Radix Themes is the perfect addition to it. You rock! 🎉
Congratulations to the Radix team on creating such a powerful and versatile tool. Radix Themes is the perfect choice for any web developer who wants to build great apps.
Radix Themes is the perfect tool for building high-quality, accessible web apps. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about web development.
This is really nice! Definitely going to use this for my upcoming project, which is going to use Radix UI. Congrats on the launch and good luck! We've also launched our product today (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) and as of writing of this comment we're ranking neighbours 😁 Also, your landing page is really cool!
