The sound effects is hurting my ears. Couldn't finish the video. It's such honest comment. Cuz, I usually don't skip shadcn videos.😥

Your video editing is fire. I had zero issues with the sound (not using headphone maybe that's why). Congrats on this clear and concise video. Instant sub for me. Godspeed.

Thanks for the video, but I felt as if I was watching at 1.25x speed. I do that most of the time, but this time it felt like I was already at that speed. Appreciate the video.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a front end developer that literally just discovered Shad/CN from a Firebase video, and you gave me the history I need to explain what this is to my peers. The content and editing was excellent, and it kept my mind engaged. I'm all for a unique take. I wore headphones, so I did notice the audio on one ear at times. Keep up the great work!

Very informative video, but the overuse of fancy animations is far too distracting to properly follow the actual content. Please focus more on content rather than visual or sound effects and you'll get lots more viewers.

While everybody complaining the sound effects, i'm gonna say you put alot if work into this vedio, beautiful explanation with a beautiful illustrations. 1million vedio

New here! I really appreciated the video, especially the editing and the use of so many clips/animations—it’s clear a lot of effort went into this. and yeah The content is super engaging! ^^

At 4:04 & 5:31, I noticed the audio switches to one side. It’s a cool effect, though it felt a bit uncomfortable for the ears. I also loved how detailed you were in explaining different ui solution in contrast to shadcn.

One small suggestion: it would be great to see a quick side-by-side comparison, like a button hover animation and a code snippet showcasing different UI solutions in videos like this.

thanks, for the video.

Been doing web since 2007, moved my project from Material UI to shadcn recently. It is great! Adding components as normal react files vs using a package is a game changer for maintenance and customisation. Really do not like bootstrap, it set back web design as it all looked the same.

Tailwind is a breath of fresh air compared to css in js, however do not like the obscene number classes it ends up with.

Holy shit, as someone who does amateurish funny video edits for my Whatsapp group, I would need about 16 hours at MINIMUM to do the editing for this 8 minute video. Quality content thanks!

[shantanuuchak]

While everyone is complaining about audio or video problems, I must say this is an epic video that stands apart in every angle: production, editing, effects, and the wisdom it shares.

Kudos to the team for such an informative video!

Info is great, I know very well the problem since I have been through it for the last 22 years. I’m AFK since most of the last 2 years as a full time parent. ShadCN UI wasn’t in my radar. It now is, thanks. But this feels like what PrimeFaces does. Or W3C’s Open UI spec. I’ll look shadcn’s source.

But I can’t stand the noise, whoosh, at every instant

Great video! Many advanced shadcn/ui components at Achromatic dev.

Forgot to add "PAID ADVERTISEMENT" on your title.

[aberbaCodes]

You seem to focus too much on tailwind CSS which is in a different category, not a component library. It's tailwind UI you're looking for.

[HenryBaldwin-trpt]

Bro great video, however putting that flash of white in all your transitions makes the video unwatchable at night. Literally had to do audio only to avoid the constant flash bangs.

[leisiyox]

Finally I can copy paste but with my terminal

[yuvalp]

About Ant Design, I think this is a bit of a mislead regarding the inability to customize it to your likings.
They have SO much options for customizations for basically anything, and the benefit of using them is easy to write code with intuitive development of their components.

[Arjun-uoil]

Have been using sahdcn for 6 months now, can't imagine building an app without it now.

[rupacFan]

I love the sound effects in this video! Kept me engaged, normally I'd close the video but I had to watch it because of the sound effects ♥ please keep it in your future videos!

[forsomereason]

I'm high af and the sound effects are tickling my brain so gooood
