14 repos

The default for Next.js builders in 2026. Not a dependency — you copy components into your codebase and own them forever. Built on Radix primitives so accessibility is solid out of the box. The catch:…

UI ComponentsDesign Systems

You are on Next.js or Vite + React with Tailwind, you want full control over component code, and you do not mind some manual maintenance.

You need Material Design specifically, you want automatic library upgrades, or you are not on Tailwind.

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.

nextauthjs

next-auth

The OG Next.js auth library, now Auth.js. ~24k stars. Quick to add OAuth providers (80+ preconfigured). Best for fast MVP work where you mostly need social login. Less flexible than Better Auth for ad…

Authentication

You are shipping a Next.js MVP fast and need social login (Google, GitHub) working in an hour.

You need fine-grained control over sessions, multi-tenant logic, or organization roles — pick Better Auth.

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.

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…

Forms & ValidationFrameworks

You are writing TypeScript and validating any input — forms, API requests, env vars, anything.

You are not on TypeScript or you are deep in a Yup codebase that works fine.

TanStack

query

The #1-rated tool in the React 2025 survey. Async state management — fetching, caching, syncing server state. Not a state library exactly but solves what most React apps actually needed Redux for. Def…

State ManagementDatabase & ORM

You are fetching data from any API in React. Yes, you need this.

You are on Next.js App Router with mostly server components — fetch directly on the server.

TanStack/queryView

remix-run

react-router

The default React router. ~53k stars. v7 merged Remix into React Router so it now also does data loading and form actions. Best choice for React SPAs and SSR apps not on Next.js.

Routing

You are building a React SPA or non-Next.js SSR app — this is the default.

You are on Next.js or TanStack Start — they have their own routers.

remix-run/react-routerView

TanStack

router

Type-safe router with first-class search-param handling. The router that powers TanStack Start. Stronger types than React Router but newer ecosystem.

Routing

You want truly typed routes and search params, especially in SPAs without Next.js.

You need maturity and community size — React Router is safer.

TanStack/routerView

vercel

next.js

The React framework. ~128k stars. App Router is the bet — server components, server actions, edge runtime. 2026 sentiment is mixed: people love the capabilities, complain about the complexity. Still t…

Frameworks

You are building a React app that needs SSR, SEO, and server-side data fetching.

You are building a pure SPA or content site — Vite or Astro is simpler.

vercel/next.jsView

vitejs

vite

The build tool that won. ~71k stars. Dev server is instant, build is fast, plugin ecosystem is rich. Default for most non-Next.js React/Vue/Svelte projects in 2026.

FrameworksDevOps & Deploy

You are building anything that does not need Next.js-specific features.

You are on Next.js — its build tooling is included.

vitejs/viteView

withastro

astro

Content-first framework with islands architecture. ~47k stars. Ships minimal JS, multi-framework component support (React + Vue + Svelte in one project). Best choice for content-heavy sites where Next…

FrameworksCMS & Content

You are building a blog, marketing site, docs, or any content-heavy site.

Your app is highly interactive — Next.js or Vite handle that better.

withastro/astroView

sveltejs

kit

Svelte's Next.js. ~19k stars. Smaller community than React but the DX is genuinely better and runtime bundles are smaller. Worth considering for greenfield projects where team training is feasible.

Frameworks

You are starting a new project and your team is open to Svelte.

You need to hire fast — the React talent pool is much larger.

sveltejs/kitView

nuxt

Vue's Next.js. ~56k stars. Mature, great DX, strong ecosystem. The default for Vue apps that need SSR and SEO.

Frameworks

Your team writes Vue and you need a full-stack framework.

You are not on Vue — pick the React or Svelte equivalent.

nuxt/nuxtView

solidjs

solid

JSX with fine-grained reactivity instead of VDOM. ~33k stars. Closer to Svelte's mental model with React's syntax. Smaller community but excellent performance.

Frameworks

You want React-like JSX with better performance and can accept a smaller ecosystem.

You need a vast plugin ecosystem or fast hiring — React still wins.
