What I’d show you first
UI Pattern Library
40 patterns · 5 categories · 0 dependencies
HTML, CSS, JavaScriptInterface patterns lifted out of projects I actually shipped. Each one renders live in an isolated frame and comes with its markup, its styles, its behaviour, and the prompt that rebuilds it from scratch.
Open source
Public repositories on GitHub, ordered by stars. The bar is drawn to scale, so one repository dwarfs the rest; that is the true shape of it.cc-dash by the numbers: 25 MCP tools, 1,667 tests, MIT license. Repositories without a star count are marked with a dash rather than a zero.
