Not related to this directly, but shadcn drawer is built on the top of vaul which is unmintained, so who ever use this in production, keep this in your mind.

Gotta love the JS ecosystem where devs move faster than users.

and people complain about "why LLM produce outdated code" lol

this is why ecosystem that stable like Go is better for vibe coding

That's unfair. You can browse, preview and get the CSS variables without signing up.

Email magic links are dumb. On top of that, forms that don't let you specify whether to login or to create an account are extra dumb. With magic links, one can't log in with just their password manager, and with a stupid combo form, anyone who mis-types or mis-remembers their email address just accidentally created a new account (or a new link that creates an account).

"Email magic links are dumb."

True, every login must be standardized around social auth and oauth2

The problem with magic links is that the secret is sent with each login attempt. It's just like SMS verification codes - an attacker that controls the email address, or the phone number, can log right in. In this case, probably without even resetting a password. Plus, with no way to verify the account owner other than the email address, if the email address is lost or changed, the account's as good as gone. Also yes…

As opposed to username/password, where... An attacker that controls the email address can log right in. Unless you mean to say I should set up 2FA for my CSS theme variable helper website? Passkeys and OAuth/social login are great, but everyone has an email. And I don't think any mainstream site supports only passkey as an auth method (and no other way).

"Passkeys and OAuth/social login are great, but everyone has an email"

big tech is only allowing Social login from another big tech anyway, they use whitelist and banning everyone that dont use that because they cant guarantee untrusted "third party"

Yup, this is the incompetence that we see all over the place since these new frameworks have come and front end devs have no idea what HTML actually is or how it works. Buttons are for submitting forms and nothing else. In HTML a link is created using an element. React has a element for this purpose, it will be rendered as . Please OP, at least try to learn a little bit about the underlying technologies.

It has nothing to do with "new frameworks". ASP devs have been making buttons into links for decades. Also, React does not have a Link element. Please at least try to learn a little bit about the underlying technologies.

The router does. We all know what they meant.

What is shadcn?

default UI of the internet

I'm being very pedantic here in true HN fashion, but at most it's the default UI of VC-funded B2B SaaS startups. 95% of the internet-using world never comes across shadcn UIs.

>Sign in or create an account with your email Into the trash it goes.

I get this. Just shipped the ability to create and edit themes locally, no auth required. The local theme gets persisted to localstorage and you can optionally save/share it later. It also works seamlessly with the fork / import features, so those can be used without auth as well.

WebAuthn has been a great alternative in my limited experience. Email for backup.
