nxui now has all 29 Paper Shaders as Vue/Nuxt components (they just went fully open source)

Paper Shaders (the WebGL shader library from paper.design, 1.7M npm downloads/month) dropped their restrictive license this week — it's now plain Apache-2.0, do whatever you like.

I'd been porting them to Vue 3 for nxui, so with the license cleared: all 29 shaders are now available as copy-paste Vue components — mesh gradient, liquid metal, god rays, dithering, metaballs, neuro noise, etc. Typed props, live playgrounds, installable via the shadcn-vue CLI. Works with Nuxt 4 out of the box (SSR-safe mounts).

Demos: https://nxui.geoql.in/docs/paper-shaders/paper-mesh-gradient

Repo (MIT, 210+ components total): https://github.com/vinayakkulkarni/nxui

Feedback welcome — especially on the WebGL/SSR handling.

nxui — 180+ animated, copy-paste UI components for Vue 3 (open source)

For the last few years I've been building Vue apps and kept re-implementing the same animated UI over and over — magnetic docks, scroll reveals, WebGL/shader backgrounds, cursor effects.

I finally pulled them into one place. nxui is ~180 animated components you add with the shadcn-vue CLI:

npx shadcn-vue@latest add "https://nxui.geoql.in/r/aurora.json"

The CLI copies the source into your repo — you own the code, it's not a runtime dependency you're locked into. Vue 3 + script setup, Tailwind v4, motion-v (the Vue port of Framer Motion), and ogl/three for the WebGL ones. MIT.

Full disclosure: it's a Vue port of componentry.fun and React Bits (reactbits.dev) — both React libraries, both credited in the README. I rebuilt each component in idiomatic Vue rather than wrapping React, and added a few of my own.

Genuinely after feedback on the component API — what animated bits do you find yourself rebuilding every project?
