shadcn/ui
A set of beautifully-designed, accessible components and a code distribution platform. Works with your favorite frameworks. Open Source. Open Code.
The web ecosystem went through this and landed on an answer. shadcn/ui inverted the model. There is no @shadcn/ui package on npm. Instead, the project ships a CLI that copies the source of a chosen component, with its Tailwind classes and Radix primitives intact, into the consumer's own components/ui/ folder. From that moment forward the consumer owns it. There is no upgrade button. There is no version drift. There is just the source, sitting in the consumer's repo, ready to be edited.

Project mention: LiftKit – UI where everything derives from the golden ratio | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-09
The CSS is in the github repo here: https://github.com/Chainlift/liftkit
LiftKit's free forever to anyone. It's just early stages and bad.
The idea was that if a company wanted to hire us for direct support, we'd do that. But the problems are: [A] no enterprise in their right minds would use this thing in its current state and [B] "us" is me and I don't have time to do that anymore

pluely
The Open Source Alternative to Cluely - A lightning-fast, privacy-first AI assistant that works seamlessly during meetings, interviews, and conversations without anyone knowing. Built with Tauri for native performance, just 10MB. Completely undetectable in video calls, screen shares, and recordings.
Project mention: Show HN: Pluely v0.1.6 -Open Source Invisible AI Assistant,Alternative to Cluely | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-17Screenshot Selection – Click and drag to capture specific areas of your screen for AI analysis. The hard part wasn't building the selection tool—it was keeping Pluely completely invisible while enabling precise interaction. I integrated tauri-nspanel on macOS for non-activating panels and rebuilt Windows window management to stay non-focusable. Three rewrites to get this right.
Audio Device Control – Pick exactly which microphone and system audio source Pluely captures from. The challenge was hot-swapping audio devices without restarting the entire capture pipeline. Had to rebuild the audio layer from scratch to support dynamic device switching.
Autostart – Pluely now launches silently when your system boots. Always ready, never in the way.
Window Focus Issues Solved – The most reported issue from v0.1.5. Pluely no longer steals focus on macOS or Windows. You stay in your workflow, Pluely stays invisible until you call it.
Custom audio capture with Voice Activity Detection
Multi-LLM support: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, Mistral, Cohere, plus custom/local models
