goopUI

goopUI is a goopy mirror of the shadcn catalog: the same accessible primitives and the same API, with gooey, dripping, physics-driven effects layered on top. Poke a few at goop.timmcmasters.work.

Status: pre-alpha. Nothing is on npm yet. Vue (and Nuxt) come first; React and Svelte follow once the Vue API settles.

Components

Button, Spinner, Switch, Checkbox, RadioGroup, Popover, DropdownMenu, Tabs, Tooltip, Slider, Progress, Toaster. More are on the way (Dialog, Sheet, Drawer, Accordion, Input, Select, Toggle).

Every effect is individually toggleable, comes with subtle | playful | wild presets, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Packages

Package	What it is	Status

@goopui/nuxt	Nuxt module: auto-imports, CSS, Tailwind @source, global defaults	pre-alpha
