Chakra UI is a component system for building products with speed using accessible React components for high-quality web apps and design systems.

---

🚀 Overview

Chakra UI solves the common pain points in UI development, such as writing repetitive code, ensuring accessibility, and maintaining consistent design systems across projects. It provides a modular library of battle-tested React components that are customizable, performant, and adhere to best practices out of the box.

This project is built for React developers, frontend teams, and product builders—from indie makers and startups to large enterprises—who need to prototype and ship beautiful, responsive interfaces quickly without compromising on quality or inclusivity.

It was created by Segun Adebayo to empower developers with a tool that accelerates development velocity while promoting accessible and scalable design systems.
