Can someone eli5 how this is different from something like bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a completely different framework with a different design language (one that many may precieve as out of fashion). This library/framework allows folks to use ShadCN (a component library) similar to Bootstrap which is only available through React/Vue/Svelte, etc.. with vanilla HTML.

  • So it's different in visual design, but the goal here is actually to make shadcn more like bootstrap? Hmm.. I think I like that.

    • Kinda, yeah. The goal is to make it possible for any web dev to use shadcn/ui with a regular HTML + CSS setup. No React. No Vue. Just whatever you're already using (e.g. Rails, Laravel, Django, ...).
