Radix UI is an open-source library consisting of React components. Its “headless” primitives manage complex logic and accessibility needs, such as dialogs, dropdowns, and tabs, while allowing developers to handle styling. The project focuses on usability, accessibility, and composability, and it has become essential in modern web development, partly because it serves as the foundation of shad/cn UI.
Chance Strickland, a software engineer at WorkOS and a Radix UI maintainer, joins the show with Nick Nisi. They discuss Radix, its primitives, its connection with shad/cn UI, the progression of web primitives, and more.
Nick Nisi is a conference organizer, speaker, and developer passionate about tools across the web ecosystem. He has organized and emceed various conferences and led NebraskaJS for over a decade. Presently, Nick works as a developer experience engineer at WorkOS.
