shadcn/ui is not a component library. It's a collection of re-usable components that you can copy and paste into your apps.

Key Benefits: - Own the code - Components are copied to your project - Customizable - Full control over styling and behavior - Accessible - Built on Radix UI primitives - Themeable - CSS variables for easy theming - Framework agnostic - Works with any React framework
