Reshaped is Now Open-Source Background Reshaped started about five years ago by Dima Belyaev to fulfill a personal need for a component library compatible with React and Figma. With over a decade of experience in design systems, Dima aimed to create a system that: Covers the core 80% of web design practices. Allows developers to handle the remaining 20% via low-level utilities. Prioritizes alignment between design and engineering. Addresses common UI challenges such as theming, dark mode, and micro-animations. Past Licensing Model Initially, Reshaped was a paid product: One-time licenses for individuals. Source code licenses for larger teams. This ensured sustainability and allowed deep support and iteration based on user feedback. There was always a hope to eventually remove the paywall. Steps Toward Open Source Two years ago, the React package was made free. Indie developers gained free access. Teams with source code licenses could install directly from npm. Current Release: Full Open Source Reshaped's full React library source code is now on GitHub. The Figma library is available in the Figma Community. This move bridges design and engineering communities. It helps both sides learn best practices for scalable, minimal design systems. Opens doors to sharing behind-the-scenes implementation of new features. Allows early insight into integration with future Figma and React capabilities. What’s Next? The Reshaped component libraries will continue to grow. Existing license holders retain full access to all future updates with no changes in support channels. Plans to introduce more advanced, opinionated premium components on top of the core library. These will feature sophisticated CSS and React logic, beyond basic components or landing page layouts. The move to open source is a significant "leap of faith" after five years of closed development. The author looks forward to giving back to the community and enjoying the process. --- Additional Links React Library (GitHub): https://github.com/reshaped-ui/reshaped Figma Library: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1546133815088483407 --- Author Written by Dima Belyaev Connect via: Twitter/X: https://x.com/blvdmitry Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/blvdmitry.me --- About Reshaped Professionally crafted React & Figma components designed for building beautiful products or creating custom design systems.
