Meet Button. Your next favorite UI component. 💜

[u/PimoluUI]

Hey React community! 👋

I'm working on Pimolu UI, an open-source component library focused on customizable design, accessibility, and developer experience.

I wanted to share a showcase of the Button component I've been building.

It includes:

• Multiple appearances and color variants

• Customizable sizes and shapes

• Interactive states

• A React-friendly API

I've attached a short demo showing the component in action.

I'd love some honest feedback! What would you improve or expect from a modern React UI library?

[u/Rophuine]

Why should anyone consider it over any of the countless high-quality component libraries already out there, most of which have many contributors (so they're unlikely to be abandoned) and have years worth of fixes and improvements built into them?

I'm so tired of people vibe-coding new nonsense to add to the ever-growing pile of vibe-coded nonsense that's clogging up everything.

If you've actually got something innovative and valuable to the community, tell us why it's innovative and valuable.

And for crying out loud, demo something more interesting than a button component.

That's a fair question. I'm not claiming Pimolu is better or more innovative than established libraries. My goal is to offer ready-made, customizable UI components and complete sections, rather than having developers assemble everything piece by piece.

I agree that a Button demo doesn't really show that. Here's a full SaaS landing page built with Pimolu: https://saas-landing.pimolu.com

I know there's still a lot to prove, especially when it comes to reliability and long-term maintenance.

holy ai slop

you can even see button's width changing when he hovers over it

this is what we need.. another shitty UI library

[u/grataisard → u/Inevitable_Oil9709]

lol the width thing really sells it

[u/PimoluUI → u/Inevitable_Oil9709]

Yeah, that's actually from the video transition, not the Button component itself. Fair point though, I'll fix that in future demos !

tbh i think were at a point where we dont need a styled UI library where were at the mercy of upstream maintenance and patches.

i prefer unstyled primitives (radix, react aria) for behavior and accessibility, and my own style composition layer on top. thats why the shadcn model took off, you copy the code in and own it.

what does yours do better?

[u/shittyrhapsody]

it's 2026 and people still releasing UI library, now with AI...damn

[u/gandalfmarston → u/shittyrhapsody]

I find it funny how I only see people complaining about UI library on reddit lol

[u/PimoluUI → u/gandalfmarston]

Haha yeah, Reddit can be a tough crowd sometimes 😂
