## Notes

0build is a frontend design system of CSS classes and web components, formerly called Franken UI. Its [documentation](https://0build.dev/docs/latest/kit/introduction/) describes a kit of components built on UIkit, with the look of shadcn/ui and coss/ui, plus a set of utility classes for one-off adjustments. Components are plain HTML elements and classes, so a page uses them without a build step.

It loads from a CDN: stylesheets and scripts are linked from the page, and everything runs in the visitor's browser. The maintainer moved the project off npm for that reason, as the [release notes](https://0build.dev/docs/latest/kit/release-notes/) explain. The old repositories and websites stay online as they were.

## Worth knowing

The project is a single maintainer's work and is still numbered below 1.0. The release notes record breaking changes between 0.x versions, such as renamed display classes and a changed shorthand syntax.
