Question 1

Will Opensource UI ever be paid?

Accepted Answer

No. Opensource UI components stay free under the MIT license for personal and commercial use — permanently. Optional sponsorships support the project; they do not unlock components or turn the library into a paid product.

Question 2

Are Opensource UI components reusable across projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every component is copy-paste TypeScript you own after pasting. Use the same pieces across React and Next.js apps with no Opensource UI npm package and no vendor lock-in.

Question 3

What do I get in the Opensource UI library?

Accepted Answer

Live previews, copy-ready TypeScript source, Tailwind CSS blocks, buttons, widgets, forms, social cards, loaders, tables, and Apple-style device mockups including iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Watch, and browser frames at opensourceui.in/components.

Question 4

Is Opensource UI code clean enough for production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Source is TypeScript-first with readable props and Tailwind utilities in the file you paste — not a black-box package. Edit, delete, or restyle anything after it lands in your repo under the MIT license.

Question 5

What design principles does Opensource UI follow?

Accepted Answer

Quiet neutral stage, clear type, hairline borders. Accents only for state or demos. No purple-gradient dashboard chrome. Motion respects reduced-motion. Responsive with base styles plus md breakpoints. Focus uses border change, not colored rings.

Question 6

Why is there no dark mode on Opensource UI?

Accepted Answer

Craft Bench is intentionally light: paper white, ink text, quiet borders, so demos stay readable and consistent. Components you copy are yours — add dark variants in your app if needed. The catalog keeps one clear visual language.

Question 7

How do I use Opensource UI components?

Accepted Answer

Open any component on opensourceui.in/components, copy the TypeScript source, paste it into your React or Next.js app, and adjust imports. No npm install of an Opensource UI package is required.

Question 8

Is Opensource UI the same as shadcn/ui or Material UI?

Accepted Answer

No. Opensource UI is a separate open-source project at opensourceui.in by Bidyut Kundu — copy-paste React and Next.js UI with its own components, mockups, and design system. Not shadcn/ui, Material UI, or another kit rebranded.
