The collaboration with shadcn goes to the next level 🙏! We work on Base UI to provide the ultimate unstyled foundation for UI. Seeing it power shadcn/ui by default feels like a great win for the community. It's also an important milestone for the team, a testament to their incredible work: @colmtuite, @michaldudak, @atomiksdev, @aarongarciah, @jjenzz, and others 🖤
Starting today, we are making @base_ui the default component library in shadcn/ui. First, a bit of history. When shadcn/ui launched in 2023, it was built on Radix. At the time, nothing else came close. Headless. Accessible. Composable. Fast forward a few years and the team who built Radix are building something new: Base UI.

One thing you get for free moving to Base UI from Radix is speed. I benchmarked the areas that most affect perf (opening a dialog on a big page, mounting lots of selects, opening big menus, sweeping over menu items etc.) In each of the six scenarios, Base UI was the fastest.

pet peeve: Cmd R being the shortcut to record screen in the iOS simulator when testing Safari

I wish inline styles didn't have such a bad rep; they're perfect for one-offs.
