Beautiful, fast, and modern React UI library built on Tailwind CSS

www.heroui.com ↗

Component library evolves from React-and-Next bet to AI-assisted UI authoring as it rebrands HeroUI.

◆Current state
HeroUI Pro is a paid React component library (220+ components) that rebranded from NextUI Pro and is moving toward AI-assisted component authoring via HeroUI Chat. Recent visible work covers Tailwind v4 migration, React 19 and Next.js 15 support, chart components, and live AI editing of any component.
◆Where it's heading
The product is stretching from a static browse-copy-paste catalogue toward an Open-in-Chat workflow where users ask an AI to customize components. The rebrand from NextUI to HeroUI loosens the framework lock-in implied by the old name and aligns with broader framework support. Each release adds either modernization (latest Tailwind, React, Next versions) or AI-customization surface area, in roughly equal measure.
◆Prediction
Expect the AI-editing surface to deepen — likely importing custom design tokens, integrating with company design systems, and exporting code to more frameworks. Continued framework-version chasing as React 19 and Tailwind v4 stabilize.

    Support TailwindCSS v4 + Live Chat with HeroUI Pro Team 🎉

    Tailwind v4 compatibility lands across all 220+ components, and a real-time support chat replaces email back-and-forth for Pro customers. Bread-and-butter modernization with a small support-experience polish on top.

    Instant Component Editing! ⚡️

    ⚡ SPARK

    Any HeroUI Pro component now opens directly in HeroUI Chat for live AI editing — adjust styles, content, and structure inside a chat surface. The most directional move in this window: it shifts HeroUI Pro from a static catalog toward an AI-assisted authoring tool.

    10 New Components & Updated Figma Files 🎨

    Ten new components — calendar booking flows and AI prompt containers — plus refreshed Figma files with overridable theme variables. Closes the Figma-to-code gap for designers and continues the AI-component build-out that pre-dates HeroUI Chat.

    NextUI Pro is now HeroUI Pro 🔥

    NextUI Pro becomes HeroUI Pro with a one-command codemod migration. Loosens the implicit Next.js-first framing of the old name without changing the underlying components. Strategic more than functional, but the package move is a real lift for downstream projects.

    React 19 RC & Next.js 15 Support + Perf Improvements 🎉

    NextUI Pro v2.6.8 lifts to React 19 RC and Next.js 15, refactors 50 components, halves bundle size, and adds SSR for several. Heavy framework-version chasing release — important for users on the latest stack but not directionally new.

    Introducing 21 chart components and updates! 🎉

    21 new chart components (library reaches 210), 22 components moved to free tier, plus refreshed Figma access. Chart coverage was a long-running gap; closed in one push and bundled with a Black Friday discount.
