Radix UI is a React component library that’s open source. It offers “headless” primitives that manage intricate logic and accessibility issues, such as dialogs, dropdowns, and tabs, while allowing developers complete control over styling. This project focuses on usability, accessibility, and composability, making it a significant element of modern web development, partly because it underpins shad/cn UI.
Chance Strickland is a software engineer at WorkOS and a Radix UI maintainer. He joins Nick Nisi on a show to discuss Radix, its primitives, its connection with shad/cn UI, the progression of web primitives, and more.
Nick Nisi, an organizer and speaker at conferences and a developer with a focus on web ecosystem tools, has led NebraskaJS for over ten years. Currently, he’s a developer experience engineer at WorkOS.
