Ask HN: Why is shadcn hyped? Missing essential components for app development
Am I the only one who finds shadcn to be my last choice for building applications? There's a lot of hype around it right now, but personally, I find it only offers basic components. I prefer using MUI because it practically eliminates any worries about missing controls. When starting a new project, I can already see that I'm missing half the components I need (common components not specific to my project). It seems like shadcn is great for creating tutorial projects like to-do lists, but not much else. What are your thoughts?

[ 3.6 ms ] story [ 11.5 ms ] threadshadcn is not a library, just code added to your repo that you fully control, customization is just modifying code instead of some injected property. Radix is the underlying library shadcn builds on
