This is why I believe Ariakit dot org will stay relevant for decades:
– It's always been about examples. And we'll feature multiple libraries: Ariakit React, Radix, Base UI, RAC, Headless UI, and others outside the React ecosystem. We'll continue to improve Ariakit's own component library (Ariakit React) focusing on interoperability and features that are not supported by current solutions (like the Combobox for Radix users).
– As the web platform evolves, we'll also have examples built solely with native widgets. There are so many things you can build with just HTML and CSS today, with progressive enhancement (base select) and polyfills (popover, anchor positioning, etc.).
– You'll find shadcn commands, AI prompts, and copy-paste code snippets that make it easy to use and customize examples.
– Ariakit dot org is our core product and we've been maintaining the project since 2017. We've been financially sustainable for the past year and expect to grow even more with the upcoming features.
