38 repos

100+ components and 50+ hooks. ~26k stars. Particularly strong on form handling and date pickers. Less hyped than shadcn but mature, well-documented, and just works. Good fit for SaaS dashboards.

UI ComponentsForms & Validation

You want a comprehensive React component library with excellent forms and hooks out of the box.

You want copy-paste ownership of component code — Mantine is a traditional dependency.

mantinedev/mantineView

ant-design

The B2B default in Asia. ~93k stars. Deep, enterprise-grade component set — tables, forms, dates, charts all included. Visually distinctive (and dated to some eyes). Strong choice for admin panels but…

UI ComponentsDesign Systems

You are building enterprise admin panels, data-heavy dashboards, or SaaS for Chinese/SEA markets.

You are building consumer-facing products — the look is too enterprise.

ant-design/ant-designView

motiondivision

motion

Formerly Framer Motion. The default React animation library in 2026. Declarative, gesture support, layout animations, scroll, presence. ~31k stars and 3.6M weekly downloads. Trusted by Framer and Figm…

Animation & Motion

You are doing any non-trivial React animation — page transitions, gestures, layout animations.

You are doing only static fades — CSS transitions are enough and ship zero JS.

motiondivision/motionView

qdrant

Rust-based vector database — fast, production-grade, Apache 2.0. Good developer experience and clear pricing if you use their managed cloud. Strong choice if Postgres+pgvector cannot handle your scale…

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You need production-grade vector search at scale and Postgres is hitting limits.

You are starting fresh on Postgres — pgvector is enough for most apps.

qdrant/qdrantView

chroma-core

chroma

AI-native embedding database designed for rapid prototyping. Easy to run locally, tight LangChain integration. Better for hackathons and internal tools than huge production deployments.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are prototyping RAG, building an internal tool, or bundling a vector DB into a desktop/local app.

You expect millions of vectors in production — look at Qdrant, Weaviate, or pgvector.

chroma-core/chromaView

pgvector

Vector search inside Postgres. ~12k stars and dominant in 2026 as the boring-but-correct default. If you already have Postgres (Supabase, Neon, RDS), do not add another database — just install this ex…

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are already on Postgres and want vector search without operating a second database.

You need billion-scale vector search with millisecond latency — a dedicated vector DB is worth the operational cost.

pgvector/pgvectorView

milvus-io

milvus

Open-source vector DB with the most mature features for huge scale. ~30k stars. Steeper operational burden than Qdrant. Used in production by companies doing serious vector workloads.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are running vector search at extreme scale with a team that can operate distributed systems.

You are a small team — Qdrant or pgvector will be enough and easier to run.

milvus-io/milvusView

weaviate

Vector DB with strong hybrid search (vector + keyword) and built-in modules for common embedding workflows. Slightly higher learning curve than Qdrant but powerful for production RAG.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You need hybrid keyword + vector search and want it built in rather than bolted on.

You only need pure vector search — Qdrant is simpler.

weaviate/weaviateView

better-auth

The most flexible modern auth library for TypeScript stacks in 2026. Plugin ecosystem for 2FA, phone OTP, organization roles, audit logs. Same code works with Next.js, TanStack Start, Express. Becomin…

Authentication

You are starting a full-stack TypeScript app and want long-term scalability with full control over auth flows.

You want a fully managed auth platform with no ops — use WorkOS or Auth0.

better-auth/better-authView

keycloak

Enterprise auth/IAM platform. ~24k stars. Java-based, self-hosted, supports SAML, OIDC, fine-grained authorization. Heavy to operate but the right pick for compliance-heavy enterprise apps.

Authentication

You are doing enterprise SSO with SAML/OIDC and need self-hosting for compliance reasons.

You are a small team or a B2C product — way too much complexity.

keycloak/keycloakView

supabase

Postgres + Auth + Storage + Realtime + Edge Functions in one open-source platform. ~73k stars. The fastest way to ship a backend in 2026 for solo founders and small teams. Mumbai region for India late…

Database & ORMAuthentication

You are a solo founder or small team shipping a SaaS or mobile app and want one backend service.

You need NoSQL specifically, or your team has strong DevOps and wants raw Postgres.

supabase/supabaseView

drizzle-team

drizzle-orm

TypeScript-first ORM with SQL-like syntax. ~25k stars. Lighter than Prisma, zero codegen step, faster cold starts on serverless. Becoming the default for new Next.js + Postgres projects.

Database & ORM

You are on Postgres/MySQL/SQLite, write TypeScript, and want SQL-like queries with type safety.

Your team prefers a high-level ORM with relations resolved magically — Prisma is more polished.

drizzle-team/drizzle-ormView

prisma

The polished ORM. ~38k stars. Best developer experience for relational data, declarative schema, generated client. Trade-off: cold starts on serverless are slower than Drizzle, and the abstraction can…

Database & ORM

Your team values DX over performance and most queries are CRUD on relational data.

You are running on Edge or Vercel functions where cold start matters — Drizzle is faster.

prisma/prismaView

typeorm

Decorator-based ORM, used heavily in NestJS ecosystem. Battle-tested but development pace has slowed. Drizzle and Prisma are the newer defaults for greenfield projects.

Database & ORM

You are on NestJS where TypeORM is the expected default.

You are starting a new project — pick Drizzle or Prisma.

typeorm/typeormView

planetscale

database-js

Serverless-first MySQL client. Good when you are on PlanetScale specifically. Works well with Drizzle as the driver.

Database & ORM

You are on PlanetScale or another Vitess-based MySQL service.

You are not on PlanetScale — pick a database first.

planetscale/database-jsView

pocketbase

Single-file Go backend with SQLite, auth, file storage, realtime. ~40k stars. Pocket-sized Supabase alternative. Great for indie projects, prototypes, and self-hosted internal tools.

Database & ORMAuthentication

You want a single binary you can drop on a VPS for an indie project, prototype, or internal tool.

You are scaling past ~10k users or need Postgres-specific features.

pocketbase/pocketbaseView

kysely-org

kysely

Type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript. Lower level than Drizzle/Prisma — closer to writing raw SQL with types. Best when you really want to think in SQL.

Database & ORM

You write complex SQL and want type safety without an ORM abstraction.

You want schema migration tooling and a managed query layer — pick Drizzle.

kysely-org/kyselyView

edgedb

Graph-relational database with EdgeQL. Beautiful query language, strong types, very opinionated. Smaller ecosystem so harder to hire for.

Database & ORM

You are a small founding team that loves typed query languages and is okay with smaller community.

You need to hire developers fast or integrate with the broader Postgres ecosystem.

edgedb/edgedbView

colinhacks

zod

TypeScript-first schema validation. ~35k stars. The de facto choice for input validation in TS apps. Works with every form library, every API framework, every ORM. If you are not using it yet, you sho…
