21st is an open-source community-driven registry and marketplace for modern React UI components, designed to streamline the discovery, sharing, and installation of reusable interface elements. It functions similarly to a package manager for design engineers, allowing users to browse and install components built with Tailwind CSS and Radix UI directly into their projects. The platform emphasizes minimal, production-ready components that follow modern design and accessibility practices, making it easier to build high-quality interfaces without starting from scratch. Developers can publish their own components to the registry, where they go through a review process before being featured or widely distributed. Each component can include multiple demos, previews, and usage examples, helping users understand how to integrate and customize them. The system also supports TypeScript out of the box, ensuring strong typing and developer experience.
