I’m using parts of Shadcn on a real product making real money. It’s really just a combination of cva, radix, and tailwind that you can copy into your app and customize/extend.

Shadcn, radix, and tailwind are all FOSS so they are not “high-priced”.

Your analysis is shallow and unfounded.

It's a shame these are all focused on react. I'd appreciate a vanilla js option

There are unofficial ports, eg. shadcn for solid: https://www.solid-ui.com/

Shadcn seems more polished and complete than Catalyst, and it's free. Absolutely no reason to pay for Catalyst. btw: is the active state missing from Tailwind since Shadcd buttons are also missing them?

Nope. Tailwind has good support for styling the active state, in the way that you'd expect if you've used Tailwind: e.g., `bg-red-500 hover:bg-red-600 active:bg-red-700`.

I meant they all look very similar. Yes these are indeed free.
