What is Shadcn Space?
Shadcn Space is a flexible UI ecosystem that helps developers build modern, customizable interfaces faster using shadcn/ui-based components, blocks, and templates — all with full code ownership.
It follows the popular shadcn/ui philosophy: copy-paste components, full control over your code, and zero vendor lock-in. Shadcn Space expands this idea with a growing collection of production-ready components, blocks, layouts, and templates that you can preview, customize, and integrate into your own projects.
Our ecosystem now supports both Radix UI and Base UI and we have built components and blocks with both Radix Nova and Base Nova. Depending on the component, implementations may use either library — giving you architectural flexibility without forcing a specific choice. If you’re migrating between Radix UI and Base UI, you can follow our migration guide for a smooth transition.
Whether you’re building a startup MVP, an internal dashboard, or a large-scale SaaS product, Shadcn Space provides a strong foundation while letting you keep full ownership of your codebase. You’re free to modify styles, logic, and structure to match your design system and requirements.
The ecosystem includes both open-source resources for the community and premium components for teams that want to move even faster. Everything is built with modern tools like React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, ensuring performance, consistency, and long-term maintainability.
Shadcn Space isn’t just a component library — it’s a flexible distribution of UI building blocks designed to help you focus less on repetitive UI work and more on building meaningful product experiences.
Built on shadcn/ui — Powered by Radix UI & Base UI
shadcn/ui provides a strong foundation of accessible and customizable components. Shadcn Space extends this foundation with enhanced variants, reusable UI blocks, complete layouts, and polished animations — built using either Radix UI or Base UI depending on the implementation.
The goal is simple: help developers build and ship production-ready products faster while maintaining full control, flexibility, and ownership — without unnecessary abstraction or lock-in.
Not a Library — A Distribution of Open Components
Shadcn Space avoids the traditional install-from-NPM model. Instead, it provides open components that you copy directly into your codebase. You’re free to customize styles, adjust logic, switch between Radix or Base UI implementations, and integrate everything into your existing stack — no lock-in, no hidden constraints.
Why should you use Shadcn Space?
While shadcn/ui offers excellent flexibility and control, developers often encounter limited component variants, fewer pre-built blocks, and minimal guidance when building larger interfaces or complete layouts.
Shadcn Space fills this gap by providing opinionated yet flexible building blocks — helping you design faster without compromising on customization, architecture choice, or ownership.
