@vkitaev Great question! The core library will always remain free. In the future, we’re planning to follow a model similar to Figma Community—there will be free components, but also premium ones where designers and developers can sell their pro components. We’ll take a small commission to support the platform. What do you think about this model? Would it work for you?

@oleksii_sidorov1 Thanks, Oleksii! I’d love feedback on how intuitive the setup process feels and whether the components fit seamlessly into your workflow. If you have ideas for new features or specific components, that would be amazing to hear as well. What kind of projects do you plan to try it with?

@adminas Thanks for pointing that out! We’re aware of the loading times and are actively working on optimizations to improve speed. Your feedback is really helpful—if you have specific moments where it feels particularly slow, feel free to share, and we’ll prioritize those areas!

replace all the videos. you need to show actions using scripts like in tests. @serafimcloud

@artyom_zhuravlev Thank you, Artyom! Early on, our community grew organically through sharing updates on Twitter and engaging with other developers in the Tailwind ecosystem. The first users came from people who were already following shadcn/ui and saw the value in extending that concept. As for attracting more developers, we focused on consistently publishing high-quality components and making the experience as seamless as possible. Do you have any suggestions on how we could expand the community further?

@serafimcloud I appreciate the insight into how you initially grew through Twitter and the Tailwind community. Have you also considered participating in other developer communities or collaborating with open-source projects to broaden awareness? I'd be curious to know which channels or platforms—beyond social media—you're finding most effective for attracting new developers.

@artyom_zhuravlev Beyond social media, we’ve seen great results from participating in a few awesome lists on GitHub, which have helped drive organic interest. Additionally, we’ve been fortunate to get reposts from popular design engineers whose components we’ve featured, as well as mentions in three prominent developer newsletters—tldr.tech, bytes.dev, and daily.dev. Moving forward, we’re looking to explore more collaborations with open-source projects and continue building relationships within the developer community. Have you seen any other strategies or platforms that work particularly well for engaging developers?

@levan_kvirkvelia Thanks, Levan! We’re already using vector search with Supabase to make finding components easier based on their names, descriptions, and tags. Are you thinking about a more advanced semantic search, like using AI to understand broader queries or related concepts? Would love to hear your ideas!

@julia_isachenkova Thank you, Julia! Can’t wait to hear what you think—let me know if you have any feedback or run into anything exciting while trying it out!

@georgiy_savchenko Yeap, using components from our registry with Lovable.dev makes it super easy for backend devs to ship frontend

@korzhov_dm Thank you!

@pcmmapk Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! The combination of tools you mentioned is exactly the kind of seamless integration we aim to achieve. I’m glad the marketplace concept resonates with you—it’s all about empowering developers to create with ease while focusing on aesthetics and functionality.
