Why ShadCN is Winning - The Story of ShadCN
Two days, five hours, twelve minutes, and six seconds left until the deadline—and all you see is the dreaded white screen of death.
Panic sets in as you check the console log, revealing a mess of syntax errors. You shut the 32 open tabs of Stack Overflow on Chrome, each one a dead end.
You’ve tried it all—Core React, countless component libraries, even the big names like Bootstrap, Material UI, Tailwind CSS.
But each one brings its own headaches:
too rigid,
too slow,
too complex to set up,
and just plain frustrating to use.
The deadline isn’t moving, and neither are you.
You open your laptop again, determined to find a real solution.
You scroll through endless forums, and just when hope seems lost, you stumble upon something new: ShadCN UI.
