Simple Textarea
Basic textarea with placeholder for multi-line text input using standard shadcn/ui styling with no additional configuration
Sometimes you just need a textarea—no labels, no descriptions, no fancy floating animations. This React textarea is the foundation pattern using shadcn/ui and Radix UI—plain multi-line input accepting user text with placeholder hint and automatic resizing built in. Perfect for quick prototypes, minimalist forms, comment boxes, note-taking widgets, or any interface where you need multi-line text entry without surrounding UI chrome—just the textarea itself doing its job.
