#What is Taki UI?

Taki UI is an open-source React component library designed for frontend developers who prioritize accessibility and flexibility in their UI builds, serving as a thoughtful evolution of shadcn/ui by integrating React Aria Components for robust, standards-compliant primitives. Its core value is delivering production-ready, copy-paste elements that handle complex interactions, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support out of the box, while allowing full customization via Tailwind CSS and Shadcn tokens—freeing you from styling boilerplate. Built on React 19+, TypeScript, and Adobe's battle-tested React Aria, it's perfect for SaaS dashboards, collaborative tools, e-commerce interfaces, and any app where inclusive design meets rapid development, especially in Next.js or Vite environments demanding SSR compatibility and zero hydration issues.

#Features ⚡

• React Aria Integration: Replaces Radix with Adobe's React Aria Components for enhanced accessibility, including automatic ARIA attributes, focus management, and cross-platform testing.

• Copy-Paste Simplicity: Add components directly to your codebase via CLI, owning the full source for unlimited tweaks without external dependencies.

• Shadcn Design Tokens: Leverages proven tokens for cohesive theming, supporting dark/light modes and easy color/font overrides with Tailwind config.

• Built-in Behaviors: Components come pre-wired with interactions like drag-and-drop, validation, and state management, reducing custom hook needs.

• TypeScript Excellence: Comprehensive types with prop inference and generics for safer refactoring in large codebases.

• Responsive & Performant: Mobile-first designs with CSS utilities, optimized for fast renders and tree-shaking.

#Pros ✅

• Superior accessibility without extra effort—Adobe's rigorous testing ensures WCAG compliance across devices.

• Avoids Radix maintenance pitfalls; React Aria's active development future-proofs your stack.

• Matches shadcn's polish and ecosystem while upgrading core primitives for better UX.

• Boosts developer productivity with familiar patterns and instant deployability.

#Cons ⚠️

• As a newer fork, community resources and examples are still growing compared to original shadcn.

• Requires Tailwind CSS setup; not ideal for utility-averse teams without adaptation.

• Limited to React Aria's scope—may need supplements for highly niche interactions.

#Included Components - Templates
