About

A small library,built in the open.

Kipui is 24 React components for Tailwind CSS v4, themed with CSS variables and shipped as one npm package. It is maintained by a small team, released under the MIT licence, and free to use in anything you build.

Why it exists

Most component libraries ask you to choose between two bad trades: a themeable one you have to configure for a week, or a generated one whose source you now own and have to maintain yourself. Kipui was written because neither trade is necessary. The components install like a normal dependency, and the theming is CSS variables you already know how to write.

It started as the internal set of primitives behind a handful of product builds — the same table, the same dialog, the same toast rewritten one project too many times. Making it a package was the cheaper option. Making it public cost nothing more.

What it stands for

Tokens, not wrappers
Every colour, radius and shadow is a CSS variable. Re-theming is a handful of declarations in your own stylesheet, not a provider API you have to learn.
Flat, named props
No compound-component ceremony where a prop will do. Learning one component teaches you the other twenty-three, because they all keep the same four rules.
Accessible by construction
Keyboard paths, focus rings and labelling live inside the components rather than in a checklist you are asked to follow afterwards.
One install
A single package with three peer dependencies. Nothing is generated into your repository, and nothing has to be re-generated when the library updates.

Anyone, under MIT
Fixes, components and blocks are welcome. Open an issue before a large change so the design can be argued about before the code is written.
The repository

With help from

Kipui is not a one-person project in practice. These people gave it their time — review, design notes, testing, and the arguments that changed how a component works. The library is better for it, and none of them had to.
