Any Design Engineer UI libraries like "shadcn", "Aceternity UI", or "Magic UI" that aren't fixed to Tailwind and TypeScript?

Web Design and UX/UI

I am a simple man who enjoys his CSS/SCSS modules. I love these libraries they look so cool but I don’t want to add Tailwind to projects.

I’m curious what’s out there like these but with vanilla implementations or just React/CSS/FramerMotion?

Are you guys stealing “engineer” too now??

Haven’t you heard about the prompt engineers?

I thought the self-inflating term for the UI crowd was “architect”.

Well, Shadcn is based on Radix, so use that?

Honestly, I shouldn’t have mentioned shadcn. I’m specifically talking about the insanely cool designs/animations from MagicUI and Aceternity.

Shadcn is just components with Tailwind attached; you can read the component source code and manually convert to CSS yourself, I believe.

This. There even should exist a Tailwind reverser on GitHub (I didn’t look it up, but I am sure at least one tool will exist).

Since you mentioned Shadcn, have you considered Radix UI https://www.radix-ui.com/?

I understand why you want to avoid Tailwind (while I politely disagree), but what’s against TypeScript?

Bootstrap is a usual go-to for me. Can do just CSS, SASS, or as React components.
