Kibo
Kibo is a registry-based UI framework and accessible web interface library that distributes modular components as raw source code. It functions as a collection of utility-styled building blocks and headless UI primitives that separate complex state management and accessibility logic from visual presentation.
The project utilizes a source-code distribution model, allowing components to be fetched and injected from a centralized registry directly into a local project directory. This approach enables full ownership of the code and the ability to customize component logic and visual styles.
The system supports the composition of complex, data-heavy web interfaces and dashboards using advanced functional components. It includes a standardized context protocol to integrate AI assistants with design tokens and documentation for automated layout generation.
Installation and management are handled via a command line interface for on-demand component installation.
Features
- Interface Accessibility - Acts as a comprehensive library of reusable interface elements engineered for high accessibility standards in complex applications.
- Accessible UI Components - Provides a library of accessible interface elements, including tables and forms, compliant with accessibility standards.
- Headless Primitives - Provides unstyled functional primitives that separate accessibility and state logic from visual presentation.
- Dependency Resolution Registration - Provides automated linking and resolution of sub-component dependencies during the initial setup process.
- Utility-First Styling - Uses a utility-first atomic styling approach to manage layouts and appearance via low-level CSS classes.
- Source-Level Component Customization - Enables full ownership and modification of component logic and visual styles by distributing raw source code.
- Local-Source Component Distribution - Distributes raw component source files directly into local projects to ensure full developer ownership and customization.
