Introduction
FivUI delivers elegantly crafted, accessible UI components through an innovative code distribution system. Seamlessly integrates with popular React frameworks and modern AI development tools. Completely open-source with transparent code access.
FivUI isn't a traditional component library. It's your foundation for creating exceptional component systems.
Traditional component libraries follow a familiar pattern: install via package manager, import what you need, and integrate into your application.
This method serves you well initially, but challenges emerge when customization becomes necessary or when specific components are missing from the library. You frequently find yourself creating wrapper components, implementing style overrides, or combining disparate libraries with conflicting design patterns.
FivUI addresses these limitations through a fundamentally different approach, guided by these core principles:
Core Principles
Transparent Code
Every component's source code is fully accessible and modifiable.
Unified Architecture
All components follow consistent patterns and interfaces for predictable behavior.
Intelligent Distribution
Advanced tooling and schemas enable effortless component sharing across projects.
Thoughtful Design
Meticulously crafted default aesthetics ensure immediate visual appeal.
Future-Ready
Architecture designed for seamless AI integration and enhancement.
Transparent Code
FivUI provides direct access to component source code, granting complete autonomy over customization and enhancement. This approach delivers:
Traditional libraries force you to work around limitations through style overrides and component wrapping. FivUI empowers you to modify components at their source.
Unified Architecture
FivUI components are built on consistent architectural patterns and interfaces. When new components are needed, we integrate them seamlessly, ensuring they follow established patterns and visual consistency throughout your design system.
Consistent interfaces create predictability for development teams and AI tools alike. You learn one pattern that applies universally, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple component APIs.
Intelligent Distribution
Beyond components, FivUI operates as a sophisticated code distribution platform with structured schemas and automation tools.
The schema enables component sharing across different projects and provides AI systems with the structure needed to generate new components that integrate seamlessly with your existing ecosystem.
Thoughtful Design
FivUI includes an extensive component collection featuring carefully considered default styling. Each component is designed for both standalone appeal and systematic harmony:
Future-Ready
FivUI's architecture is specifically designed to work harmoniously with AI development tools. The transparent code structure and consistent patterns enable AI systems to effectively analyze, understand, and enhance your components.
AI tools can study your component patterns to suggest improvements, generate new components that fit your design system, or even automate routine customization tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FivUI
?Why choose copy/paste over package dependencies?
This approach prioritizes developer autonomy and code ownership, enabling you to make architectural decisions about component construction and styling.
Begin with well-designed defaults, then modify components to align with your specific requirements.
Package-based libraries create tight coupling between styling and implementation.Component design should remain independent from implementation details.
?Which development frameworks are compatible?
FivUI works with any React-compatible framework including Next.js, Gatsby, Remix, Vite, and others in the React ecosystem.
?Is FivUI suitable for commercial projects?
Absolutely. FivUI is freely available for both personal and commercial use with no attribution requirements.
We'd love to hear about your implementations. Feel free to share what you create with FivUI.
?Are there plans for Vue or Svelte compatibility?
FivUI currently focuses exclusively on React and its ecosystem. While the underlying principles could be adapted for other frameworks, we're concentrating on perfecting the React experience first.
