Maren Holloway
Design Lead
A small team building UI you can keep.
Paubha is a free component library for React and Tailwind, built in the open.
We got tired of rebuilding the same button
Every product we worked on started with the same week: pick a kit, fight its styles, then fork it. We wanted components that start in our repo and match the design file from day one.
So we built them once, with tokens, tests and a focus ring we would be proud to put on our own homepage, and gave them away.
How we work
- You own every line
- Components are copied into your repo. There is no package between you and the UI.
- Figma is the spec
- Variants, sizes and tokens match the design file. We do not invent states in code.
- Accessible by default
- Each interactive component follows its WAI-ARIA pattern, shows a visible focus ring and ships with an axe test.
- Free, with no catch
- The whole catalog is MIT licensed. There is no paid tier behind it.

Where Paubha is going
The next few months, in the order we plan to do them.

Live previews on every docs page
Each component page gets a working demo and a full props table.
- 2
More application patterns
Settings screens, onboarding flows and data views built from the base components.
- 3
Easier token sync
A smoother path from Figma variables to the token files in your app.
