It’s a pleasure to work with Hayden Bleasel — the creator of Kibo UI and AI Elements, and a long-time leader in the shadcn/ui community. Hayden’s craft and pragmatism have made Kibo UI a go-to library for teams who care about design systems and developer velocity. We’re thrilled to carry that momentum forward.
What’s included
- 41 core components spanning navigation, inputs, overlays, content, and more.
- 1,000+ variants that map to real usage across marketing sites, dashboards, SaaS apps, and design system work.
What’s next
We’ll maintain and extend Kibo UI under the Shadcnblocks umbrella with a clear roadmap:
