Introduction

An introduction to the 8bit component library.

8bit is a retro, pixel-cornered take on shadcn/ui — every component starts from a Base UI primitive, and you install it straight into your own project with the shadcn CLI. 8bit is one of the libraries under cnlibs.com.

What's inside

  • Pixel corners. A clip-path based system that notches every corner and border instead of rounding them, with matching focus rings.
  • Base UI primitives. Accessible, unstyled behavior underneath — 8bit only adds the look.
  • A self-hosted registry. Add any component, or a full theme, with a single shadcn add command.
