Classification

License, pricing and purpose

License: Unrecognized license; Unrecognized license: A license file GitHub could not match to a known license.
Access: Custom license; A license GitHub could not recognize (often custom, commercial or source-available): read it before use.
Purpose: Afterglow is a complete retro terminal UI kit for shadcn, featuring CRT scanlines, phosphor color themes, and Base UI primitives.
Commercial model: Free; Everything the project offers is free to use, with no paid tier. Donations and sponsorships do not count as paid.
Tied to a service: No; Yes when the components are a client for a commercial API or service.
Scope: Complete kit; A broad, general-purpose component set that covers most everyday primitives (buttons, inputs, dialogs, menus, tables) and can be the main UI kit of an app, whether it restyles shadcn/ui or extends it.
Domains: Theming; Theming: Themes, color systems, fonts and theme generators.
Design: Distinct look; Has its own visual language that no longer reads as shadcn/ui, such as neobrutalism, retro pixel art, glassmorphism or skeuomorphism.
Coverage: 70%; Share of shadcn/ui core primitives that the registry ships.
Design distance: 0.74; Measured on sample items: 0 is identical to vanilla shadcn/ui, 1 is entirely different.
