Akaza UI v0.0.3-alpha is out — Vue-first headless primitives that actually feels like Vue

Hi Everyone,

About 3 months ago, I shared Akaza UI here — a headless component library for Vue built around a more Vue-native API.

Since then, I’ve been quietly testing it in a few of my own projects, taking feedback from fellow developers, and refining the API before pushing the next update.

v0.0.3-alpha is now released.

The main focus of this release is expanding Akaza UI beyond basic primitives into more form/control-focused components.

New primitives added:

  • Field
  • Fieldset
  • Form
  • Input
  • CheckboxGroup
  • Select
  • NumberField
  • Slider
  • ToggleGroup
  • Meter

Akaza UI now has 28 headless primitives in total.

The styling system has also been cleaned up across components:

  • ui.root for component roots where applicable
  • stable akaza-* semantic classes
  • data-akaza-state for primary state
  • granular data-akaza-* attributes for form/control state
  • data-akaza-side for floating placement

The idea is still the same: fully unstyled Vue primitives that use named slots and a ui prop instead of forcing everything into a sub-component tree.

So you can bring your own styling with Tailwind, UnoCSS, plain CSS, or whatever fits your project.

Docs have also been improved with anatomy, examples, props, events, slots, and styling hooks.

Docs: https://akaza-ui.com
GitHub: https://github.com/igris-labs/akaza-ui
Install: pnpm add akaza-ui

Would love feedback from Vue/Nuxt developers, especially if you’ve worked with Reka UI, Headless UI, Radix-style APIs, or Nuxt UI and have opinions on this slot-first + ui prop approach.

PS: I'm also updating Inspira UI with new components and improving website experience.

Putting Inspira UI Pro on sale with 50% discount. Reason mentioned in post.

Hi Everyone,
I'm putting Inspira UI Pro All Access Pack on 50% discount sale.
You can use code `SALE50` during checkout to avail 50% discount and get $200+ worth of templates and components at half the price with priority support.

https://pro.inspira-ui.com

Here is the reason of doing so:

I posted about how I got laid off a month ago. Since then I have been trying to find a new contractual, freelance or full-time job to support my family as there is a lot going on.
I tried different platforms and job portals, contacting different people and asking for referrals and support but not a single positive response and all rejections.

So I'm putting Inspira UI Pro on sale to support my family.

PS: If you have any reference or would like to hire me for contractual, freelance or full-time role, do ping me.

Thank you everyone.

EDIT: If you liked my work, I can also provide customised development service. Let me know if you want any customised solution separately.
