MicroKit UI

Free copy-paste React and CSS micro-interactions for modern web interfaces

Visit microkit.co ↗

MicroKit UI is an open-source gallery of animated UI micro-interactions, such as glowing buttons, hover reveals, sliding tabs, and focus fields. Each interaction is provided as standalone React, CSS, or Tailwind code with no third-party runtime package required, and can also be installed directly via the shadcn CLI.

What it's for

  • Add animated hover and click feedback to call-to-action buttons
  • Implement animated sliding tabs and navigation menus
  • Enhance form inputs with animated focus states and drag-to-scrub controls
  • Drop micro-interactions into Next.js or React projects via copy-paste or shadcn CLI

Features

  • 49 copy-paste micro-interactions spanning buttons, tabs, inputs, and navigation
  • No runtime package dependency—just copy code or use the official shadcn registry
  • Available in both standard CSS and Tailwind CSS (supporting v3 and v4)
  • Available in TypeScript and JavaScript variants
  • Fully compatible with React and Next.js App Router
  • Categorized and filterable by stack (React, CSS) and trigger type (Hover, Click, Drag, Focus)
  • MIT licensed for commercial and personal projects
