2023 JavaScript Rising Stars

JavaScript Rising Stars is interesting to look at year after year because of the simple methodology of measuring how many more GitHub Stars a project gets year after year. A project like React with a massive amount of star-based popularity isn’t guaranteed to top the list, and in fact this year clocks in at #7.

The winner? shadcn/ui, notable for it’s extremely unusual distribution method.

This is NOT a component library. It’s a collection of re-usable components that you can copy and paste into your apps.[You] do not install it as a dependency. It is not available or distributed via npm. Pick the components you need. Copy and paste the code into your project and customize to your needs. The code is yours.
