Show HN: A UI Library for the Web

Oh, hey. I made that :D

I’ve been quietly working on this for the last two years. It started as a creative outlet and a way to discover and learn modern Web APIs. It ended up as an addiction.

I built Quiet from scratch to improve my design skills. To learn new APIs. To try different approaches that may or may not in my main focus, which is Web Awesome.

I learned so many new things building it. It let me explore newer APIs such as `color-mix()`, the Popover API, and Element Internals. It let me use newer CSS features such as `:has()` and nesting before they were baseline. It taught me about color, especially OKLAB and OKLCH, which is still a mysterious box of wonder, but slightly less intimidating now.

Quiet has given me the freedom to explore ideas that make me a better developer and designer, many of which would be out of scope for a more established product.

I’d love to hear what you think, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

This is pretty neat. Some cool components I haven't seen before:
