- component library
- A pre-built collection of reusable UI elements — buttons, cards, modals, carousels, and more — that developers can drop into a web project to avoid building common interface pieces from scratch, saving time and ensuring visual consistency.
- copy-paste component
- A UI component distributed as raw source code that developers can paste directly into their project rather than installing a third-party package — giving full ownership of the code with no external dependency to maintain.
- NPX command
- A command-line instruction using the Node.js package runner (npx) that installs and executes a package in a single step — commonly used to add component libraries to a project without permanently installing the package globally.
- bento grid
- A web layout pattern that arranges content in an asymmetric grid of varying-sized cards — popularized by Apple's product pages — used on marketing and portfolio sites to display multiple features or highlights in a visually dynamic, magazine-style arrangement.
- motion primitives
- Low-level, reusable animation building blocks for web interfaces — individual animated behaviors like sliding numbers, magnetic buttons, morphing dialogs, and spring-physics transitions — that developers compose together to create polished, fluid user experiences.
- family drawer
- A bottom-sheet drawer UI pattern popularized by the Family crypto wallet app — characterized by smooth spring-physics animations and fluid open/close transitions — adapted here for web browser use.
- chain of thought component
- A UI element designed for AI applications that visually displays the intermediate reasoning steps a language model produces while processing a request — giving users transparency into how the model reached its answer.
- haptic feedback
- Subtle vibration or tactile pulses produced by a device in response to user interaction — used in mobile apps to reinforce taps, swipes, and confirmations with a physical sensation that makes the interface feel more responsive and premium.
- v0 (Vercel)
- An AI-powered UI generation tool by Vercel that produces ready-to-use React components from a text prompt — allowing developers to generate and preview interface designs before copying the code into their project.
