Overview

UP Kit is a comprehensive collection of UX patterns and UI components for developers who want to create exceptional, accessible, and usable interfaces.

Built with React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.

What is UP Kit?

UP Kit extends shadcn/ui by adding comprehensive UX patterns with implementation guides, accessibility-first approach, and usability best practices. Each pattern includes:

• Implementation examples with copy-paste code
• Accessibility guidelines following WCAG 2.2 standards
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them
• Best practices from real-world applications
• Testing guidelines for quality assurance

Features

Why UP Kit?

For Developers

• Copy-paste ready - No complex setup or configuration needed
• Framework agnostic patterns - Use with any React-based framework
• Well-documented - Every component includes detailed documentation
• Production ready - Used in real applications serving millions of users

For Teams

• Consistent design - Maintain UI consistency across your application
• Faster development - Ship features in days, not weeks
• Reduced bugs - Battle-tested patterns prevent common mistakes
• Better collaboration - Shared vocabulary between designers and developers

For Users

• Accessible by default - Works for everyone, including users with disabilities
• Performant - Optimized for Core Web Vitals
• Responsive - Mobile-first approach that works on all devices
• Intuitive - Follows established UX patterns users already know

How is UP Kit Different?

While shadcn/ui provides excellent component primitives, UP Kit adds the UX layer on top:

• Complete patterns instead of just components
• Implementation guides with real-world examples
• Accessibility documentation for each pattern
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
• Testing strategies for quality assurance

Think of it as shadcn/ui + UX best practices + implementation guidance.
