Changelog.

🔐 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.
• Built-in MDX blog — write posts natively with MDX; includes pagination, filtering, sorting, SEO-ready metadata & sitemap out of the box.
• SEO + performance optimised — structured data + metadata + clean markup + meta & Open Graph support; built to hit perfect Lighthouse scores.
• Light & dark mode support — theme-ready from day one for a modern, branded UI.
• Customisable & rebrandable — change colors, fonts and styling easily; full theming support via shadcn + Tailwind + React.
• Modern tech stack — Next.js v15, React (v19), Tailwind CSS v4.1, shadcn/ui, TypeScript, ContentLayer2.

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.

This was a significant milestone that simplifies setup, improves color fidelity, brings things up to date, and makes theming more powerful out‑of‑the‑box.
