HeroUI (formerly NextUI) is a React component library built on React Aria and Tailwind CSS v4, fully rewritten in v3 and positioned as the modern alternative to MUI, Chakra UI, and shadcn/ui. Its promise is beautiful by default, customizable by design: accessibility from React Aria, OKLCH color through CSS variables, pure-CSS animations with zero runtime, a compound component API with no provider wrapper, and defaults that ship micro-gradients, glassmorphism, and refined shadows.
