SmoothUI
SmoothUI offers a collection of over 50 animated React components designed for integration with shadcn/ui projects. The library focuses on providing drop-in components that enhance user interfaces with smooth motion effects and modern design elements. It is built for developers who are already working with shadcn/ui and want to add polished, animated components to their applications with minimal setup.
All components in SmoothUI are powered by Motion and GSAP, delivering animations tuned for spring physics and supporting reduced-motion preferences for accessibility. The components are fully typed and utilize modern React features, including React Server Components, TypeScript, and hooks, specifically targeting React 19. Customization is supported through compatibility with Tailwind CSS, including the latest utility-first features in Tailwind CSS v4.
SmoothUI is delivered as a package that can be added to a project with a single command, making the setup process straightforward for developers. It is intended for those building with shadcn/ui who want to incorporate animated UI elements such as orbs, dynamic islands, loaders, and various themed blocks into their web applications.
