Velora UI
Changelog

What's new

New components, template pages and improvements — shipped in public, documented in full.

  1. v0.10.0Improved

    A homepage about the library, templates, showcase and AI docs

    • A new homepage: a live showcase of real components above the fold, category and block overviews, and claims you can check
    • The SaaS landing template moved to /templates/saas, with a new Templates section
    • A denser components index: category chips, a New in v0.7.0 panel and New badges in the sidebar
    • Component pages gain an On this page table of contents plus Edit on GitHub and Report an issue links
    • New pages: AI & MCP setup, a Built with Velora showcase you can submit to, and a measured comparison with React Bits
    • The Pro waitlist works, with double opt-in email confirmation
    • The site follows your system's light or dark setting, dark-mode buttons meet WCAG contrast, and the homepage no longer downloads 1.4 MB of demo photos
  2. v0.9.0Improved

    Findable: category pages, comparisons and a faster homepage

    • A Get started page covering installation, the @velora registry namespace (npx shadcn add @velora/marquee) and setup for AI agents
    • 16 component category pages, such as /components/category/backgrounds, each with its own introduction
    • Honest comparisons with Aceternity UI and Magic UI: measured the same way for all three, including where they're stronger, plus a table for switching over
    • Every page now has its own share card, title and description, plus structured data for search engines
    • llms-full.txt gives AI agents the props, accessibility notes and a working example for every component
    • Homepage Lighthouse score went from 61–90 to a steady 92 for performance and 100 for accessibility, best practices and SEO; the old '100 Lighthouse' claim was replaced with facts we've measured
    • Tracing Beam now respects reduced motion
  3. v0.8.0New

    31 free blocks: complete sections, installable in one command

    • Hero, feature, pricing, testimonial, CTA, logo cloud, FAQ, navbar, footer and login/sign-up sections, all free and MIT licensed
    • Preview every block at desktop, tablet and mobile widths, read the code, or install it with the shadcn CLI, which brings along every Velora component it uses
    • Each category has its own page (/blocks/hero-sections, /blocks/pricing-sections, …)
    • Accessible by default: labelled forms, a keyboard-operable billing toggle, a real comparison table, and motion that pauses
    • Fixed: the footer no longer prefetches llms.txt as a page; Resizable Navbar no longer uses hrefs as React keys
  4. v0.7.0New

    100 components: loaders, overlays, cursors and more

    • Overlays: an animated Modal built on the native <dialog> element, so focus trapping, Escape and the top layer come from the browser
    • Navigation: Animated Sidebar (rail on desktop, drawer on mobile), Animated Tabs with full WAI-ARIA keyboard support, and a Resizable Navbar
    • Loaders: a Multi-Step Loader that announces each step to screen readers, five compact loaders and a Stateful Button for async actions
    • Cursor & Pointer: Following Pointer, Smooth Cursor (fine pointers only, never hides the cursor on touch) and Pointer Highlight
    • Carousels & cards: Image Slider with a visible pause button, 3D Marquee, Draggable Cards, Layout Grid and Wobble Card
    • Code Block with tabs, line highlights and dependency-free syntax highlighting in under 3 KB
    • Backgrounds: Dotted Glow and Noise, both paused offscreen, in hidden tabs and under reduced motion
    • 51 of the 100 components have zero runtime dependencies
  5. v0.6.0New

    18 new components: globes, 3D cards and scroll showpieces

    • Data & Maps: a dependency-free canvas Globe with markers, arcs and drag-to-spin, and an SVG World Map with animated connections
    • 3D: 3D Card with layered depth and 3D Pin with a rising label
    • Scroll: Hero Parallax, MacBook Scroll and a Timeline whose beam fills as you read
    • Backgrounds: Wavy Background, Vortex, Shooting Stars and Background Boxes
    • Cards & effects: Glowing Effect, Evervault Card, Focus Cards and Card Hover Effect
    • Plus Text Hover Effect, an Apple-style Cards Carousel with an accessible dialog, and a Lens magnifier
    • Every new component ships with two examples, a props table and documented reduced-motion, keyboard and screen-reader behavior
    • No Three.js, no WebGL: the Globe draws on a 2D canvas and carries its own land map in 5.2 KB
  6. v0.5.0Improved

    Docs you can build from, and an accessibility pass on every component

    • Every component page now has Preview/Code tabs, CLI and manual install (pnpm, npm, yarn, bun), a props table generated from the TypeScript source, and an Accessibility section
    • Copy prompt hands an AI agent the install command, a working example and the props; Open in v0 loads the component straight into v0
    • ⌘K search across all components and pages
    • Audited all 64 components: fixed 60 accessibility defects across 38 of them — keyboard-operable dock, tooltip, menu and dialogs, screen-reader text for animated copy, pause on hover and focus for anything that loops
    • Reduced motion now travels with the component: CSS animations use motion-safe: instead of a kill switch that only lived in this site's stylesheet, so CLI installs respect it too
    • No more hydration mismatches under reduced motion, and every static state looks intentional (orbits rest on their ring, meteors disappear)
    • Components are 0.3–2.0 KB gzipped after the fixes; 33 of 64 still have zero runtime dependencies
  7. v0.4.0New

    The catalogue doubles to 64 components

    • Four new categories: Navigation, Forms, Social Proof and Scroll — each previously empty
    • Navigation: floating navbar, morphing navbar menu, dismissible sticky banner
    • Forms: vanish input, drag-and-drop file zone, multi-step stepper
    • Social proof: animated testimonials, tweet card and logo cloud — no API calls, no rate limits
    • Scroll: sticky scroll, container scroll, tracing beam, scroll velocity and parallax grid
    • Buttons expanded to seven, including a View Transitions theme toggler
    • Six more cards, four more text effects, three more backgrounds
    • Still 0.3–1.5 KB per component — and 33 of the 64 have zero runtime dependencies
  8. v0.3.1Improved

    Next.js 16.3, TypeScript 7 and Motion 13

    • Next.js 16.3: Turbopack disk caching for production builds and a much lighter dev server
    • TypeScript 7, the native compiler — type checking this project is about 3× faster
    • Motion 13 and React 19.2.8, with no changes needed in any component
    • Every other dependency refreshed to its latest release
  9. v0.3.0New

    Multi-page template, themes and performance receipts

    • Complete multi-page template: pricing, blog (MDX), about, contact, changelog, login, signup and a custom 404
    • Theme presets page with live preview and copy-paste token blocks
    • Per-component performance receipts: gzipped size, dependency count and reduced-motion behavior on every docs page
    • Base UI compatibility: all Velora primitives are primitive-agnostic and work in Base UI or Radix shadcn projects
    • Sitemap, robots and llms.txt cover all pages
  10. v0.2.0Improved

    Blue default theme and a calmer look

    • Primary and brand tokens moved from violet to a restrained blue ramp
    • Gradient text limited to the hero; section headings use solid primary color
    • Reduced decorative effect stacking in hero and CTA sections
    • All dependencies updated: Next.js 16.2.10, React 19.2.7, Motion 12.42, Tailwind CSS 4.3.3
  11. v0.1.2New

    Registry, docs site and 10 new components

    • shadcn registry: every component installs with one CLI command and carries its own keyframes and tokens
    • Docs site with live previews, install commands and highlighted source
    • 10 new components — 32 total: text shimmer, flip words, sparkles text, terminal, confetti, lamp, background beams, animated tooltip, browser and iPhone mockups
    • Light mode with next-themes and a CSS-driven toggle
    • llms.txt for AI-agent discovery
  12. v0.1.1New

    Eight more primitives and four new sections

    • Meteors, retro grid, animated beam, animated list, dock, tilt card, avatar circles and canvas particles
    • Integrations-beam, live-activity, testimonial and CTA sections on the showcase homepage
  13. v0.1.0New

    First public build

    • Next.js 16 + Tailwind CSS 4 + shadcn/ui + Motion scaffold
    • Design tokens: brand gradient variables, animation keyframes and a global reduced-motion kill switch
    • 14 animated primitives and the dark-first showcase homepage
