Hey, I'm Mukesh 👋
React Native Developer from India
I was building a production app and spent 3 days perfecting a bottom sheet with drag gestures. Then I moved to the next screen and spent 2 more days on an animated tab bar.
I realized something: I was rebuilding the same components every developer rebuilds.
That's when it hit me. We're all solving the same problems. Fighting the same bugs. Optimizing the same animations. What if we could just... copy and paste solutions that actually work?
nativecn-ui is my answer.
Every component here is extracted from real production apps. These aren't toy examples or weekend projects. They're battle-tested solutions to real problems.
The Problem with React Native Development
We waste too much time rebuilding basics.
Every React Native developer knows this pain:
❌ Current solutions aren't good enough:
NPM Packages
Heavy, opinionated, version conflicts, abandoned projects
UI Libraries
Lock you in, hard to customize, one-size-fits-none
Code Snippets
Half-finished, no error handling, breaks in edge cases
AI-Generated Code
Generic, doesn't handle React Native specifics, performance issues
✅ What developers actually need:
Production-ready code you can understand and modify
Components that handle edge cases and platform differences
Solutions that are proven in real apps with real users
Zero vendor lock-in - you own the code completely
How nativecn-ui Started
From Frustration to Solution
nativecn-ui didn't start as a business idea. It started as a folder on my computer labeledreusable-components.
While building production apps over the years, I found myself copying components between projects. A bottom sheet here. A tab bar there. Each time, I'd tweak them, fix bugs, add features.
After the 10th time copying the same range slider, I thought: "Other developers must be doing this too. What if I just... shared these?"
The Realization
These components weren't just code - they were lessons learned:
- The bug where the bottom sheet broke on Android 13
- The performance issue with the skeleton loader on low-end devices
- The gesture conflict between the tab bar and scroll view
- The haptic feedback that makes everything feel premium
These aren't things you find in tutorials. They're the details you only discover after shipping to production and getting user feedback.
"I'm not selling you a product. I'm sharing what actually works."
Why Free? Why Now?
Building in Public, Growing Together
nativecn-ui starts free because I believe in the React Native community. We share knowledge on Twitter. We help each other on Discord. We contribute to open source. This is my contribution.
Free Forever
- All basic UI components (9 components and growing)
- Documentation and guides
- Community support
Premium (6-12 months)
- Advanced screen templates (auth flows, onboarding sequences)
- Figma design system
- Video tutorials and courses
- Priority feature requests
The Deal
Right now, I'm asking for your time, not your money:
If nativecn-ui saves you even 2 hours, that's worth it.
Why nativecn-ui Stands Out
Not Just Another Component Library
Production-Tested, Not Tutorial Code
Every component is extracted from real production apps. These aren't "what if" examples - they're "what works" solutions.
Performance First
60fps animations, optimized re-renders, minimal bundle size. Because your users don't care about your code - they care about how it feels.
Own Your Code
No npm package. No version conflicts. No waiting for maintainers to fix bugs. Copy it, customize it, make it yours.
Properly Documented
Full TypeScript definitions, prop documentation, usage examples, customization guides, and dependencies clearly listed.
Community-Driven
Built by a developer, for developers. Your feedback shapes the roadmap. Your needs determine what gets built next.
AI Era Ready
While AI generates generic code, nativecn-ui provides the proven solutions you can trust. Use AI to customize these components, not build from scratch.
