Intent UI

Pick Intent UI over shadcn/ui when accessibility is a stated requirement or when the app needs internationalised date, time, or colour input — React Aria handles keyboard, focus, RTL, and locale calendars that Radix leaves to you. Do not mix it into an existing Radix-based shadcn project component-for-component: the two primitive systems have different prop and ref contracts, and you will end up shipping both runtimes; adopt it as the base layer instead, starting from one of the four starter kits. Note the version split in the docs URLs (2.x vs 3.x) and pin the one you generate against, and remember the 507 blocks, 542 patterns, and 16 templates are paid on design.intentui.com while the components themselves are MIT.

Why it is here. The strongest React Aria option in a Radix-saturated ecosystem, which makes it the practical default when a project has a genuine WCAG obligation rather than an aspiration.
