What's New
Compound Component Architecture
Every component follows a compound pattern (e.g. Card.Header, Card.Content, Alert.Title) built on top of React Aria Components. This exposes each piece for independent styling and composition while keeping accessibility handled for you.
Tailwind CSS v4 + CSS-First Theming
Styling is powered by Tailwind CSS v4 with a CSS-first theme layer. Design tokens are defined as CSS variables, so you can retheme the entire library without touching component code.
Accessibility by Default
All interactive components are built on React Aria Components, providing keyboard navigation, focus management, and ARIA semantics with no extra wiring.
