📱Beautiful, fast and modern React Native UI library

HeroUI Native is a React Native UI component library built on top of NativeWind (Tailwind for RN) that ports the HeroUI web design system to mobile. It targets Expo projects and ships ~40 components covering the standard primitives you'd expect in a production app. If you're already using HeroUI on the web and want visual consistency on mobile, this is the obvious first thing to evaluate.

The component breadth is genuinely solid for a v1 — bottom sheets, OTP input, sliders, toast, tag groups, and a handful of 'showcase' screens (paywall, onboarding, Raycast-style command palette) that demonstrate real-world compositions rather than toy examples. The per-component file structure (`.tsx`, `.styles.ts`, `.types.ts`, `.animation.ts`) is consistent and navigable. NativeWind as the styling layer means you're not locked into a bespoke theme object — CSS variables drive theming and you can override at the CSS level. The iOS preview app on the App Store is a meaningful QoL addition; most UI library authors skip this.

Android preview app is listed as 'coming soon' at v1.0.4, which is a red flag — if it's not tested on Android at release, you're going to hit platform-specific edge cases in production. Community contributions are locked down hard: no new components, no design changes, no behavior modifications without core team approval — that's a slow-moving single-vendor dependency for anything non-trivial. The web HeroUI and the native version share a brand but not an abstraction layer, so 'consistency' is visual only; if you're building a shared component library across web and native you'll still write everything twice. No Storybook or comparable interactive component catalogue in the repo itself — the example app is the only way to see components in context, and that requires cloning and running Expo.
