Watermelon UI Dashboards

Reach for this when the user wants a whole admin surface in one shot rather than assembling one from shadcn/ui parts — a single `npx shadcn@latest add https://registry.watermelon.sh/r/<slug>-dashboard.json` drops in a working sidebar, topbar, theme toggle and populated pages. Two traps: the site is a client-rendered SPA that returns a 4KB shell to plain fetchers and 403s polite crawlers, so read https://registry.watermelon.sh/r/registry.json instead of the docs pages, and the per-item URL /r/<name>.json also serves the SPA shell, so validate the response is JSON before trusting it. Note the primitives are Base UI, not Radix, so mixing these files into an existing shadcn/ui project pulls in a second primitive layer; the animated components additionally pull motion/react.

Why it is here. Free, MIT, shadcn-CLI-installable full dashboards are rare — most nine-app dashboard collections of this size are paid templates, and the machine-readable 1,067-item registry makes the whole thing directly usable by an agent.
