Radix UI is a set of open-source React components. These ‘headless’ primitives manage complex logic and accessibility tasks—such as dialogs and dropdowns—allowing developers to handle the styling. Focused on usability, accessibility, and composability, Radix UI has become crucial in modern web development, partly due to its role in shad/cn UI.
Chance Strickland, a software engineer at WorkOS, helps maintain Radix UI. Chance joins Nick Nisi to discuss Radix, its core components, its connection with shad/cn UI, the evolution of web primitives, and other topics.
Nick Nisi is a conference organizer, speaker, and developer focusing on web tools. He has organized and emceed various conferences and has led NebraskaJS for over ten years. Nick is currently working as a developer experience engineer at WorkOS.
