I've been testing these components recently and I've got lots to say about it: - Most of them look really good but the quality is not consistent (Checkout the 3D card, then go take a look at the buttons). - Almost every component I tried had performance issues. The animations are smooth when it's the only component you're rendering. But your frame rate will drop quite fast as you add more and more components. - Some of them (maybe all of them i haven't checked) are not responsive. For instance, the meteors effect has a hard coded width of 400px... If you want to use these into production, you will need to modify the component's code yourself in order to make them work like you expect. So overall good design but bad implementation.
I’m sure those performance/responsive issues will be fixed in future releases. Then you can just update everything to the latest version…. or wait a minute…
Vercel has money to burn , also it's free promotion to their name which is why a lot of people use vercel and not netlify even though netlify free tier allows for commercial usage whereas vercel's doesn't. Cloudflare , AWS , netlify are what I think of serverless nowadays
This is the perfect video to remind folks about the "prefers-reduced-motion" CSS media query. Some people genuinely get motion sick from these kind of animation. Bonus tip: designing your animations in a way that can be switched off gives you a way to do that when you notice performance problems.
I mean. We are at a point in JS where every project bare minimun is Typescript and Next 😂 The other day i wrote an API using only node and express and it felt so fast and performatic like if i had wrote koa in assembly. 😂
We have a money laundring portal ish for the goverment which we buikd opensource in vanillaJS. Is quite fast and was fun to do. Althrough there were some tasks where i'd like to have a reactive system (BE was django tho).
Incredible work explaining the magic behind these UI libraries and their practical use cases. The section on customizing elements and diving into the code was enlightening.
the mouse is hovering over a link, it's applying margin left to the div which moves the div outside of the mouse removing the hover effect and causing and infinite loop. If they had used padding it would not do this.@@laxuscullen
@@nicolashocquard6296 cursor is positioned over an element that has a hover effect to indent it slightly. It does this by animating the margin, which in doing so moves the box out from under the cursor, resulting in the box losing its hover status and returning to a default state. If instead padding was used, which changes the position of the content inside the box instead of the box itself, this oscillating action would be avoided.
It's not the future it's the past, just go to theme forest and you'll find tons of "highly interactive/crazy effects" things like that with the code available. The only difference is that here it's open source + using less crappy libraries that are a standard. And we always have the freedom to edit the code on open source projects anyway, that's also as old as open source, it's just easier to copy paste some "trivial" UI stuff that have few lines of code or to copy paste few lines from Stack Overflow than it is to copy paste and edit the code of really complex projects
Radix doesn't give you "Vercel dashboard-like look". It's a completely unstyled library of basic primitives with focus on accessibility and ease of customization. Hence something like shadcn exists.
@taman1488 Which unique "functionalities" are inherent to Vercel's UI dashboard to justify saying ShadCn is giving you "Vercel's functionalities". It seems like a library giving you normal unstyled components with basic but boring to implement "functionalities" (markups and JS) figured out, an unstyled bootstrap where it's easy to hack the code at the end of the day, I can't see how it's "Vercel's functionalities" Edit : But I guess he means that by default and with the "slate" color theme it's true that their components would fit into the Vercel dashboard
@taman1488 I used quotes because that's not what I would usually call functionalities. I should have only quoted "functionalities". But that's the pov you where defending anyway, unless you were just making generalities.
Only bad thing about these videos is that literally everyone is going to start doing it once the Fireship video comes out and it becomes played out in like 2 weeks.
looks cool, but definitely the type of thing you would probably only use on a landing page or some marketing bs. Can't see myself using most of this things on a more content-focused website, lol
Not a chance. It's for those "experience" websites that eat half of your computer so you can read the mission statement over 20 scrollpages in 10 minutes instead of a simple line of text in a second.
Looks really cool, but it's probably better suited for front pages rather than entire apps. I can imagine load times could be quite high, and the end user would get annoyed after a while. Also, low-end phones be damned
I wish someone told me this about React 7 years ago when I first got into VueJS. It just seems that React has everything when Vue spent years trying to evolve from 2 to 3. I love it but I also hate it because it doesn't have such a versatile and complete eco-system of SaaS from authentication, mind blowing component libraries, payment services, CMSes etc. Crazy
At least you are still sane. Don't mind them, most of these libraries will come and go. I, for instance, hate learning react, but it got such market share. Vue is such a pleasant thing to write with SFC and other things, styled components could never get close to native (s)css. Fortunately, companies are starting to pick up Vue more.
Very sweet albeit not the most accessible animations. I'd be cautious even targeting power users with hardware to spare. That being said, these effects are inspiring as heck and took me back to the early days of discovering CSS Zen Garden in awe.
I am proud to see a UI Library by Indian coder are doing this amazing !!!, yesterday only i was trying to work with this and to a got to see it in Fireship video ❣
Concatenating long strings in JavaScript is a nightmare for efficiency! Use the "StringBuilder" methodology of pushing every string into an empty array, and then joining it at the end with an empty string. It makes a HUGE difference with large strings in JS.
And so ends... The days of loading a webpage and being in awe of some creative dev who custom-made a cool animation. I honestly debate whether it is even worth going out of my way to learn raw CSS and JS and do things the hard way so I can actually MAKE stuff when I'm competing with the ability to throw together a collage of pre-made components in a fraction of the time with equally little effort.
Finally one component dev team stopped being smart asses about their implementations and decided to ship the actual code instead of predefined closed chunks that never fully fit the purpose anyway.
for me the issue isn't performance necessarily. i think all flashy new things will have minor performance issues but you sacrifice performance for a fun experience. the problem I have in general is if I want to show off cool stuff I've made, like UI, gifs, video, those are the things eating up performance capability. and then there's no space left for the flashy stuff. but if you're only showing off static images and text these UI components seem pretty cool.
I'm no frontend dev and have zero insight so shame me all you want but this all looks to me like the fancy zomfg look at my animated pixelart, wow my cursor is changing, dude snow on my webpage?! shenanigans back in the early 2000s, just with more modern animations and more complex code while not providing any improved usability for the visitor.
The framework and codebase you're working with here seems WAY complex. I personally try to avoid this type of unnecessary complexity in my projects as much as possible.
Wow. Just wow. Now THIS is now groundbreaking. It's revolutionary. Now this will change the industry forever. THIS IS the one. I'm sure this time. Totally.
I’m still impressed by Google’s sign in form redesign from last week
same here man, i think it took them 5 month to come up with that idea 😆
Yeah me too. I never saw such beautiful unique modern design that no one could mimic
They were hyping it up for weeks too 😂
Stunning and brave
The horizontal symmetry was a classy move, far beyond its time; transcendent.
Thankyou for sharing Aceternity UI! :)

Every influencer doing a video on the same exact component library 🤣 "just a coincidence"
😂😂😂
What do they do it for
Exactly, i recently concluded that copy/pasting is the best way of utilizing ui components
Been using it for my prev 2 sites, definitely one of the most helpful component libraries
those type of project are the future ✨ the freedom of editing the code and do whatever you want is a whole new level

Finally! An easy to implement UI effects library to help drain my users' batteries as fast as possible on mobile devices.
If it’s not haemorrhaging battery, is it worth looking at?
Having 17kb more of CSS and HTML on a mobile device isn't going to affect a user's battery.... lol
@@JC-yy5nf They probably mean the javascript code for the animations themselves is gonna use more power

you think that, but people are very lazy and end up not doing anything unless it's an actual copy and paste tutorial. this was just a glance over

"Tailwind needs to be a dependency"... i mentally leave the room.
Framer motion makes the website unnecessarily slow. GSAP does it well on performance
Imagine the megabytes required to get this all to work, and casually ignoring any accessibility requirements.

You could combine Text Generate Effect with Time Based Text recordings for more natural progression of the appearance of the text.
As a backend developer, I say we give our users a terminal and call it a 'Modern Minimal UI That Only SMART People Can Use' and get this over with.

It seems like tailwind is building a competitor to shadcn, they are previewing it on their tailwind UI page
The more the merrier. I love the fact you just drop the ones you like into your project and can go in an edit them completely to your needs.

This man is Crazy!! Real Crazy!!!
at first glance , it s really amazing ui lib !!!
Ui libraries are currently hyped up like js frameworks lol
Thank you.
now we need more than one framework for some effects.
I totally agree the developer must be some kind of a mad man😂😂😂😂
So with Shadcn you basically make your own fork for every project you use it in.
I used this Aceternity UI library when it launched but there are a lot of bugs in the code and the team is actively maintaining the library
cant imagine the marketing budget of this library .... every fucking creator is talking about it
3:40 shows editing the code "it's just a bunch of divs", doesn't show the resulting change.
It's StackOverflow but organized
its a proud for an indian , that all the aceternity was build a indian dev . shouout to @mannupaaji
Note: Theres already a svelte port of aceternity. Great vid ❤

I can't tell if this is ironic any more.
It’s odd that the course says Next 14 in the video, but the website still says 13.
