    21st.dev▲1,211

    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!

    Hi HN, Michael & Michael here. We are indie hackers who have been building apps full-time for the past year. We both independently realized the need for a React framework for building generative UIs. A React developer can register a component and then have an AI choose which component to render and fill in the props i.e. text, styles, etc. We have demos in our repo graphs, forms, and general UI. Check out the repo above or npm i hydra or use this template https://github.com/MichaelMilstead/hydra-template
