The 5 from the video

1. 21st.dev 21st.dev ★ 5,347 on GitHub

A marketplace of beautiful UI components that real designers built. Find a hero, a pricing card, a bento grid you like, copy it, and paste it straight into your site.

2. Aceternity UI ui.aceternity.com

Prebuilt, smooth animations (spotlight, moving border, aurora, text effects). One drop-in component is what makes a site feel expensive instead of flat.

3. Magic UI magicui.design ★ 21,565 on GitHub

The companion library to Aceternity: marquees, shimmer buttons, animated lists, blur fades. More polished motion you can paste in with zero animation code.

4. Mobbin mobbin.com

A huge library of real screens from the best apps in the world. Use it as the reference you hand your AI: copy how the pros handle spacing, hierarchy, and flows.

5. tweakcn tweakcn.com ★ 10,171 on GitHub

A visual theme editor for shadcn/ui. Kill the ugly default black and white and default font in one click, then export the CSS variables and paste them into your project.
