Franken UI is an HTML-first UI component library built on UIkit 3 and extended with LitElement, inspired by shadcn/ui. It provides copy-pasteable components styled with Tailwind CSS utilities for building web interfaces without heavy JavaScript frameworks.

Use cases

• build a website with shadcn/ui-style components without react
• copy-paste ui components into plain html pages
• style forms and modals with tailwind css utilities
• add accessible components like dropdowns, modals, and tabs to a static site
• create a dashboard ui with vanilla html and lit web components

When to choose

• you want shadcn/ui aesthetics in an HTML-first or framework-agnostic project
• your stack is plain HTML, server-rendered templates, or lightweight web components
• you want UIkit behavior combined with Tailwind CSS styling

When to avoid

• you need a full React component ecosystem with npm package updates
• the project has moved on to 0build and you want actively developed tooling
• you require deep integration with a specific SPA framework's state management
