React: Build your own composable, headless components
Fast forward to a week ago, I cloned the Reach UI and Radix UI codebase and started exploring. Large codebases are always difficult to comprehend. With some digging around and reverse engineering, I was able to create the first component listed in the Reach UI docs, the Accordion.

I'm building Radix Svelte, an unstyled UI component library with a focus on accessibility.
Other things that led me to choose this path were: Most libraries that are ports, official or not, use the original name (e.g. Svelte Material UI); Radix UI's license is fairly permissive (https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/main/LICENSE), which is why I also don't think it matters that it's a company behind it. Same as why I don't see an issue with the name Preact, for example.

An Overview of 25+ UI Component Libraries in 2023
ChakraUI: An emphasis on A11y, meaning it is fully compatible with the WAI-ARIA accessibility standard, has won OSS awards, and has a thriving community. As mentioned, it’s one of the better choices out there as it has a great model for building composable UI, built-in hooks, and great dark-mode support. This is the same team behind Zag.js, which handles UI as state machines. Once again, you’d need to learn the API, and swapping might be hard to do.

What are your thoughts on wrapping all third party UI components with your own component to make it easy to replace libraries in the future?
I agree with what another poster said about Zag (also part of the Chakra project). It seems to me that eventually, with the explosion of number of frameworks, consolidation is going to happen. Segun is influential enough that Zag has a good chance of being what the consolidation ends up centering around.
