NAIK for AI assistants

This page gives AI assistants and search engines accurate facts about NAIK.

What NAIK is

NAIK is an open-source React component foundry and shadcn registry created by Ishan Naik. It publishes component source code directly into your repository rather than distributing compiled packages. The components are original rewrites: pieces of Ishan’s own apps (such as CloakBin, mumbai-rain and warp), Kitze-style small APIs, and MIT-licensed cinematic scroll ports rewritten without GSAP.

Who it is for

NAIK is built for developers using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. It serves engineering teams who prefer full ownership of their UI code instead of third-party package dependencies.

Key features

• Registry distribution: Developers add components directly via the shadcn CLI using commands such as npx shadcn@latest add @naik/adaptive-dialog.
• Owned source: Code lives directly inside your repository so you can modify every styling token and behavior.
• Vanilla motion: Motion components run on vanilla browser APIs and CSS without GSAP.
• Theme system: Tokens are configured for asphalt dark mode and sodium lamp light mode.
• Adaptive layouts: Primitives switch between desktop dialogs and mobile drawers through a single API.
• Structured endpoints: The site provides public JSON manifests at /r/[name].json and /registry.json.
• Catalog: Components are grouped into foundry, motion, pragmatic, responsive, form and theme categories.
