  • shadcn/ui

    Beautifully designed components that you can copy and paste into your apps. Accessible. Customizable. Open Source.

  • One of my biggest fears as a frontend dev is to build UIs that are inaccessible for people. It's easy to take so many things for granted.

    The good news is you get a lot of accessibility out of the box using native html. For higher abstractions I love working with accessibility first libraries like Shadcn (which is built on top of Radix): https://ui.shadcn.com/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
