Changelog

You can now control and export component-level styles from the theme generator.

Styles can be installed via a simple CLI command or copied manually, depending on your workflow.

To make larger changes easier to review, when you hit export, you'll be presented with the option to see a diff of what's changed, so you can choose to manually update code or use the CLI.

This feature is experimental — feedback very welcome.

Building on the latest shadcn/create capabilities, I’ve added new style controls for individual components.

These controls work at the component level, completely independent of the global theme configuration — giving you more flexibility where you need it most.

Currently available for:

• Button
• Card

This is experimental, so feedback is very welcome. Reach out to me on x.

A fresh set of theme presets have landed in the shadcn theme generator.

What’s new:

• Custom Vercel theme — inspired by Vercel’s clean, minimal aesthetic
• New official shadcn presets:
• Cyan
• Fuchsia
• Indigo
• Lime
• Sky

These presets are available instantly in the generator and can be used as-is or as a starting point for further customisation via Quick Theme and color strategies.

More presets — and variations — coming soon 🎨

🎨 Added two new shadcn themes: Nimble and Focus.

You can now try themes directly inside template live previews, making it easier to see how each one looks in context.

🔐 Introducing the Zippystarter Private Registry — a curated collection of reusable UI components and blocks for internal or team-wide use.

What’s included:

• 21 Components — building blocks (headers, footers, avatars, cards, blog elements, etc.) built with shadcn/ui + Tailwind + React.
• 14 UI Blocks — larger composite sections (hero sections, feature grids, pricing sections, testimonials, footers, etc.) for fast assembly of pages.
• Simple registry integration — add @zippystarter/r/<block-or-component> via the registry to share and reuse UI.
• Ideal for startups, design systems, or SaaS teams who want a shared, consistent UI toolkit.

This marks a big step toward scalable, maintainable UI development across projects — and is just the beginning. More components and blocks are coming soon. 🚀

🚀 Introducing Nimble — a new one-page marketing template designed for fast-moving SaaS founders. Perfect when you need to launch fast — validate the idea, get users onboard, and iterate.

• Developers can now run npx shadcn add @zippystarter/r/whatever to install Zippystarter themes, or UI blocks directly via the Shadcn CLI, with no extra setup.
• All registry entries are open-source and follow the official schema — making integration seamless and secure.

You can see use listed along with some of the best shadcn registries.

The shadcn themes page is the new home for all themes available in the public registry.

We published every theme from the shadcn theme generator page to a public registry, to install a theme run a command like this:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://zippystarter.com/r/amber.json

All themes are Tailwind v4 ready and free to use.

🚀 Introducing Focus — a powerful, marketing-focused website template with built in blog, designed for creators, SaaS founders, or any product needing a polished web presence.

Focus includes:

• 10 ready-to-go pages — flexible templates suitable for marketing sites, landing pages, docs, or even e-commerce.

Perfect if you want a polished, SEO-ready marketing site + blog — with zero boilerplate fuss and maximum customisation flexibility.

All templates, blocks, and components now default to Tailwind v4.

• Configuration is handled directly in CSS files, removing separate .ts/.js config files.
• Color tokens migrate to the modern oklch() color gamut.
• All CSS variables include oklch() function notation, no more separate function and values.
