Just released Zolt, a free portfolio template for designers, developers, freelancers, and creative professionals.

It’s built with Next.js, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS v4, and TypeScript.

It includes sections for:

• Featured projects
• Experience
• Skills & tech stack
• Services
• Pricing
• Testimonials
• Contact

It also supports light, dark, and system themes and is fully responsive.

If you're looking for a starting point for a personal portfolio or just want to see how a larger shadcn/ui template is structured, it's completely free to use.

We recently built RestroPOS, a restaurant POS template for anyone working on a restaurant, café, cloud kitchen, or hospitality app.

It’s built with Next.js 16, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS v4, and TypeScript.

The template covers the main parts you’d expect from a POS system:

• POS & billing
• Table management
• Reservations
• Kitchen display
• Inventory
• Invoices & payments
• Restaurant dashboard

The idea was to provide a solid starting point that developers can customize rather than building all of these screens from scratch.

It’s available on shadcn/studio if anyone is working on something in this space and wants to take a look: Shadcn POS Template

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you’ve built a restaurant/POS product before.

After a lot of requests, we've released a free version of AdminCN.

It includes a selection of pages from the full dashboard, including:

• Orders Dashboard
• Mail, Calendar & Users
• User Profile & Settings
• Authentication pages
• Forms & Data Tables
• Error pages

The idea was simple: make it easier for people to try AdminCN and use parts of it in their own projects without any upfront cost.

If you're building an admin panel with shadcn/ui, I'd love to hear what you think or what you'd like to see added next.

I've spent the last few months building an admin dashboard starter for the shadcn ecosystem, and I'd love to get some feedback from the community.

It includes:

• Next.js 16 + shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS v4
• Multiple dashboard variations
• Prebuilt apps like Mail, Chat, Calendar, and Kanban
• Data tables, charts, auth pages, user management, and settings
• Theme customizer and API-ready structure

The goal wasn't to create another dashboard demo, but something that can serve as a solid starting point for real products.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UI, component organization, developer experience, or anything you'd improve.

We ended up rebuilding our Shadcn Figma instead of patching it again and again

Switched everything to a Nova-based structure so it aligns better with how shadcn/ui is actually used

The biggest change was splitting the file into 3 parts:

• UI kit for core components
• Blocks for reusable sections
• Templates for full pages

It made a bigger difference than expected
Files load faster, are way easier to navigate, and editing feels less painful

Also added slot support across components, plus a proper style guide page, so things stay consistent

Added a few missing pieces, like:

• Kbd
• Item
• Spinner
• Input group
• Scroll area
• Form fields

Curious how others here are handling Figma with shadcn

Do you even use a kit or just build directly?

Went through a bunch of MCP servers for design workflows.

They all sound similar at first.
But each one solves a different part of the process.

Some help you build UI faster
Some connect design to code
Some keep your team and workflow in sync

Pick the right mix, and everything flows better.
