    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Hey HN, I wanted to share a UI toolkit project I’ve been working on recently, born out of how difficult I found it to build a great UX on top of LLMs, and keep application state in sync. I’ve built: - A React/JS front-end library for conversational interfaces, which makes it super easy to bootstrap AI assistants and ChatGPT style UX: https://github.com/nlkitai/nlux - A set of adapters that simplify integration with AI backends such as LangServe and HuggingFace The library is highly configurable, easy to theme, supports markdown streaming (that was tough to get…

    Hi HN, I built Prompt Area — a contentEditable rich text input component for React, designed specifically for AI chat interfaces. The problem: if you're building an AI chat UI, your input needs @mentions (to reference context), /commands (to trigger actions), #tags, inline markdown, file attachments, and undo/redo. Existing options are either too limited (react-mentions only does mentions) or massive overkill (Tiptap, Lexical, and Plate are full document editors built on ProseMirror/Slate — way too heavy for a prompt input). Prompt Area sits in the middle. It uses a…
