Honest UI.
In your codebase.
No headless packages. No utility-class soup. No config to wire.
Just Tailwind and JavaScript, working together the way they should.
Why HippoUI exists
We got tired of bloated component libraries, invisible abstractions, and utility-class soup. HippoUI is our answer: honest code you can read, own, and change.
No headless UI
Zero external component packages. Every line of HippoUI lives inside your codebase. You ship it, you own it.
Tailwind + JavaScript, balanced
Not thousands of utility classes crammed into one div. Tailwind for tokens, JavaScript for logic. The right tool for each job.
We respect JavaScript
We don't hide behind DSLs or config-driven variants. State, behavior, composition — handled in plain React, the way it was meant to be.
Animation first
Every component ships with motion baked in. Enter, exit, hover, press — tuned with framer-motion so interactions feel alive, not glued on after the fact.
