Shadcn Badge

Shadcn/ui badges are built with React and Tailwind CSS. These variants help you highlight key information like status, categories, and counts in a clear, eye-catching way. They are easy to customize, simple to copy, and ready for any modern web project.

Although small in size, badges can play a big role. In a rich user interface, this might include, at a glance, an understanding of what is new, active/or may go unread; it could also serve as reminders for those more forgetful moments in life. All this information becomes apparent without any extra text or crowding up an already busy screen.
