registry.directory
Index of 70+ shadcn registries with live star and item counts
Tier A · StrongDirectoryRegistryToolregistry.directory

registry.directory is the explorer for the shadcn registry ecosystem: one page listing 70-plus third-party registries — shadcn/ui itself, Magic UI, React Bits, Aceternity, Supabase UI, Plate, AI Elements, Tailark, Coss UI, Dice UI, shadcn/studio and more — each with its GitHub star count, item count, and last-activity date. You can sort by Popular, Stars, or Recently active, open a built-in IDE-style viewer to read a registry's source, and copy the exact install command. Registry owners can submit their own; some listings are sponsored/premium.
For an agent
Start here when the user asks for a component you know shadcn/ui does not ship — Gantt, kanban, rich-text, AI chat, file tree — instead of guessing a package: the listing shows item counts and last-activity dates, so you can reject a dead registry before you run `npx shadcn add`. Every entry resolves to a registry.json you can install from with the standard shadcn CLI, which means components you pull from two different registries still share the same Radix/Tailwind base and will compose. Watch for stale rows (several registries show 6-months-old activity) and for sponsored placements sitting above genuinely more popular registries.
Why it is here. The shadcn ecosystem fragmented into dozens of registries with no index; this is the one place that ranks them by real signals — stars, item count, recency.
