## Recommended Modern Alternatives

Since Ink Kit is no longer maintained, we recommend the following actively maintained alternatives for your projects:

### UI Component Libraries

- **[shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/)** - Beautifully designed components built with Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Copy and paste components directly into your project.
- **[Radix UI](https://www.radix-ui.com/)** - Unstyled, accessible components for building high‑quality design systems and web apps.
- **[Chakra UI](https://chakra-ui.com/)** - Simple, modular and accessible component library that gives you the building blocks for your React applications.
- **[Mantine](https://mantine.dev/)** - A fully featured React components library with 100+ customizable components.

### Wallet Connectivity (Onchain-focused)

## WIP Notice
- **[RainbowKit](https://www.rainbowkit.com/)** - The best way to connect a wallet. Designed for everyone. Built for developers.
- **[ConnectKit](https://docs.family.co/connectkit)** - A powerful React component library for connecting wallets to your dapp, built on top of wagmi.

This is a work in progress: we are constantly adding new components, improving the developer experience, and fixing bugs.
These alternatives are actively maintained, have strong communities, and offer excellent documentation and developer experiences.
