Honestui

Overview

Honest UI is an MIT-licensed React component library by Connor, built around "good interfaces, honest code". It splits ownership in two: interface and animated components are copied into the project as editable source, while charts, icons, logos, vectors and shaders are imported from the honestui npm package through explicit entry points.

The registry lists 91 items: 61 UI components, 29 animated components and an analytics dashboard block. Its own CLI (npx honestui@latest add) shows the files and dependencies it will add and supports a dry run, and the components can also be added through the shadcn registry. The site recently added Honest AI, components for agent and chat interfaces.

Features

• Interface components: Accordion, combobox, command, data grid, data table, date range picker, file upload, filter bar, form, kanban list and more.
• Animated components: Action swap (blur, cascade and roll), number ticker, text reveal, text shimmer, tilt card, magnetic, dock and gooey toasts.
• Visual effects: Grainient gradients with film grain, light rays, dither, blinds and chromatic image and text reveal.
• Package collections: honestui/charts, honestui/icons, honestui/logos, honestui/vectors and honestui/shaders, with TypeScript declarations.
• Data tools: Paste table, change review, data quality and density components.
• Accessibility: Accessibility is treated as a default, with dedicated docs.
