 NeonKit on GitHub

Introduction

NeonKit is 139 React components for dark interfaces, lit like signage after hours, plus 60 blocks and 5 templates built from them. You don't install it as a dependency: you add the files you want and they become part of your project.

How it works

Add a component with the shadcn CLI or paste its source. It lands in components/ui next to two small helpers: cn for merging classes and neonVars for color. This is the whole idea, running:

Principles

The code is yours
No package to update and no wrapper to fight. Each component is one file in your repo, and you can change any line of it.
One variable sets the color
Every component reads --neon. Pass color, set it on a parent, or leave it alone and get cyan.
Light means something
Resting UI stays calm. Glow shows up for focus, selection, hover and progress, so when something lights up, it's telling you why.
It fits your stack
React 18 or 19, Tailwind 3.4 or 4, Next.js, Vite or Remix. Native elements and the keyboard come first.

Why not a package?

UI libraries tend to end up as a pile of overrides. When the code lives in your repo, you edit the component itself and see every class it ships with. It's the same idea as shadcn/ui, and NeonKit plugs into its CLI, so the two sit side by side in one components/ui folder.

Start with installation, or go straight to the components and copy one.
