ibirdui is a library of React user interface components that you copy directly into your own project's source code, rather than installing as a package dependency. This copy in approach is the same one made popular by shadcn, meaning you fully own and can edit the code. The author's point of difference is that ibirdui components also come with every real world loading state already built in, verified accessibility support, and a way to safely pull in updates later without losing edits you made locally. Every component follows one shared pattern for handling async data, meaning data that loads over time from a server. A developer only has to write what the finished, successful view looks like, and the library automatically provides the loading skeleton, an empty state, an error message with a retry option, and screen reader announcements for each of those states. Because the code is copied into your project rather than referenced as a package, normal updates would usually be difficult without overwriting your changes. To solve this, a command line tool records a fingerprint of every installed file. When you run the upgrade command later, files you never touched get updated automatically, while files you did edit are left alone, with the newer version saved alongside as a separate file so you can merge the differences yourself. Each component ships with an accessibility test using axe-core and documents what accessibility guarantees it provides, such as focus handling and live region announcements for screen readers. Every component also carries a small machine readable description of what it does, which an included command can search by keyword, and which is also exposed through a dedicated MCP server so an AI coding assistant can look up the real source code of a component instead of guessing at its markup. The project is built as a pnpm and Turborepo monorepo written in TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS, and tested with Vitest and axe-core. It currently ships three items: a shared async state library, a state boundary component, and a data list component that uses the other two. It is released under the MIT license.
