About This Template

Shadow Panda is an open-source UI component library built with TypeScript, Panda CSS, and Radix UI, providing accessible and customizable components based on shadcn/ui's design philosophy for developers seeking an alternative to Tailwind CSS. This innovative library maintains the same component structure and design patterns as shadcn/ui while leveraging Panda CSS's build-time CSS generation, type safety, and zero-runtime overhead, offering developers the familiar shadcn experience with different styling technology. The project includes a comprehensive preset for Panda CSS, supports React applications, and emphasizes both developer experience and accessibility compliance through proper semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. Perfect for teams standardizing on Panda CSS across projects, developers seeking type-safe styling with better IDE support, projects requiring fine-grained CSS control beyond utility classes, or applications where build-time CSS generation and smaller bundle sizes matter for performance optimization. Maintained primarily by Atsushi Yoshitake and welcoming community contributions under the MIT license, Shadow Panda demonstrates how the component-driven philosophy can transcend specific CSS frameworks, enabling developers to choose their preferred styling solution while benefiting from proven component designs and accessibility patterns established by the shadcn/ui ecosystem.
