#What is Creatorem UI?

Creatorem UI is a free, open-source React component library that extends and complements shadcn/ui by filling in gaps with additional components and animated versions using Framer Motion. Built on top of Radix UI primitives, it follows the same design philosophy as shadcn/ui—accessible, unstyled, and fully customizable with Tailwind CSS. Its primary goal is to provide developers with production-ready UI elements that are not yet available in the core shadcn/ui library, such as advanced layouts, enhanced inputs, or motion-rich interactions. Ideal for teams using shadcn/ui in SaaS apps, dashboards, or landing pages, Creatorem UI ensures consistency while expanding creative possibilities. It’s not a replacement—it’s an enhancement.

#Features ⚡️
