Matches for "react native"
51 reposThe 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:…
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.
The CSS framework that won. Utility-first, brutal on first sight, addictive after a week. ~83k stars. Pairs with literally every UI library that matters in 2026. Default expectation for new React/Vue/…
Theme tokens spec for React — colors, spacing, typography as a single config. Older but the underlying idea (design tokens) still matters. Worth knowing the pattern even if you build tokens yourself w…
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…
The industry standard for advanced web animation since forever. Framework-agnostic — works with React, Vue, vanilla JS, anywhere. Strongest tool for complex timelines, scroll-driven animation, and SVG…
Lightweight JavaScript animation engine. ~66k stars. Great for SVG and DOM animation without React-specific bindings. Smaller community than GSAP, but the API is approachable and the bundle is tiny.
Physics-based spring animations for React. ~29k stars. Better than Motion when you need genuinely physical motion (interruptible drags, momentum scrolls). Less DX polish than Motion for the common cas…
Motion graphics for the web — built for animated UI flourishes. Smaller community than Motion or GSAP but produces distinctive, polished microinteractions out of the box.
50+ animated React components built on Motion + Tailwind. Copy-paste style like shadcn but for animated effects: animated text, marquee, bento grids, file trees. Pairs perfectly with shadcn for landin…
The biggest LLM framework. Chains, agents, RAG pipelines, integrations with every model, vector DB, and tool. Strong ecosystem with LangGraph for agentic workflows. The criticism: for simple use cases…
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.
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.
The Indian payment stack. UPI, cards, wallets, EMI, subscriptions. INR-native so you avoid currency-conversion headaches. Mandatory if you are charging Indian customers. Better domestic rates than Str…
Open-source headless commerce. ~25k stars. Strong alternative to Shopify for teams that want full control over their commerce backend. Solid plugin ecosystem.
The fastest, smallest form library for React. ~39k stars. Uncontrolled by default so re-renders stay minimal. Pairs naturally with Zod for validation. Default choice for any React form heavier than a…
New TanStack entry, framework-agnostic forms. Headless, type-safe, supports React/Vue/Solid. Worth watching but React Hook Form is more mature today.
Form state library, framework-agnostic. React Final Form was popular pre-React Hook Form. Less active today.
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…
#2 in the React survey. Tiny, no boilerplate, hook-based. Replaced Redux for most teams. Stays out of your way until you genuinely need it.…
Atomic state for React. Different model than Zustand — composable atoms instead of a single store. Better for derived state that updates granularly without re-renders.…
Observable-based reactive state. Different mental model than Zustand/Jotai — closer to Vue's reactivity. Still active but losing ground to simpler stores in 2026.…
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.…
Type-safe router with first-class search-param handling. The router that powers TanStack Start. Stronger types than React Router but newer ecosystem.…
~1.5kb router for React. Sometimes that is exactly what you want — a marketing site, an embedded widget, a Chrome extension popup.…
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…
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.…
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…
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.…
Vue's Next.js. ~56k stars. Mature, great DX, strong ecosystem. The default for Vue apps that need SSR and SEO.…
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.…
The way to build React Native in 2026. ~32k stars. Managed workflow that handles native builds (EAS), updates (OTA), and routing (Expo Router). Default for cross-platform mobile unless you have hard n…
The cross-platform mobile framework. ~120k stars. Most people use it through Expo now. New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModules) shipped widely and improved performance significantly.…
Universal UI for React Native + web. Compile-time style extraction means near-native performance. The best option in 2026 for genuinely sharing UI code across web and mobile.…
Tailwind for React Native. Compiles utility classes at build time. Best when you already love Tailwind on web and want the same workflow on mobile.…
TypeScript-native headless CMS. ~30k stars. Self-hostable, code-first schema, generated TypeScript types. Best choice in 2026 for builders who want a CMS that respects code workflows.…
Headless CMS with admin UI. ~64k stars. Mature, large community, plugin ecosystem. Heavier than Payload, more familiar if you come from WordPress.…
New 2026 entry from TanStack — local-first reactive DB for offline-capable apps. Worth watching but ecosystem is still young.…
Lightweight, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. Cookie-less, GDPR/DPDP-friendly. Self-host or use their managed service from ₹720/year.…
Self-hosted Plausible alternative. ~22k stars. Free if you can run a Node process and a Postgres database.…
Composable charting library for React. ~24k stars. Built on D3 but with a much friendlier API. Default choice for dashboards and analytics UIs in React.…
The data visualization library. ~108k stars. Steep learning curve but unmatched flexibility. Used under the hood by most React charting libraries. Reach for it when off-the-shelf charts cannot do what…
React components for email. Build emails as React, render to HTML for sending. Pairs with Resend's sending API for the cleanest email DX in 2026. Free up to 100 emails/day on Resend.…
Tailwind for email. Authors HTML emails using Tailwind classes, compiles to inlined CSS for email clients. Smaller community than React Email but battle-tested for client compatibility.…
Vite-native unit test runner. ~13k stars. Faster than Jest, compatible API. Default for new Vite-based projects in 2026.…
Self-hosted Heroku/Vercel alternative. ~30k stars. Deploy from Git to your own VPS. Good for indie devs avoiding Vercel costs at scale.…
JavaScript runtime + package manager + bundler in Zig. ~76k stars. Faster than Node for many workloads. Production use is rising, but most teams still default to Node for stability.…
Run TypeScript files directly in Node. Replaces ts-node for most workflows. Used by half the scripts in your `package.json`.…
Python-native LLM-friendly crawler. Strong at extracting structured data (JSON schemas) from messy HTML using an embedded LLM. Heavier setup than Firecrawl but more control over extraction prompts. Be…
Node-native crawler from the Apify team. Built-in queues, retries, proxy rotation, headless browser pool — production patterns out of the box. Switches between Playwright, Puppeteer, and plain HTTP ba…
The Python scraping veteran. Mature ecosystem, plugins for everything (caching, proxies, middlewares), and a years-honed pipeline architecture. Steeper learning curve than the modern alternatives but …
