Radix UI is an open-source library of React components. Its “headless” primitives handle the complex logic and accessibility concerns—like dialogs, dropdowns, and tabs—while leaving styling completely up to the developer. The project emphasizes usability, accessibility, and composability and has become a vital part of modern web dev, in part because it forms the foundation of shad/cn UI.

Chance Strickland is a software engineer at WorkOS and a maintainer of Radix UI. Chase joins the show with Nick Nisi to talk about Radix, its primitives, Radix's relationship with shad/cn UI, the evolution of web primitives, and much more.

Nick Nisi is a conference organizer, speaker, and developer focused on tools across the web ecosystem. He has organized and emceed several conferences and has led NebraskaJS for more than a decade. Nick currently works as a developer experience engineer at WorkOS.
