widgetsand

Widgetsand is a technology platform that develops and distributes modular user interface widgets and related tooling for software development. The core library consists of reusable components such as buttons, input fields, data grids, charts, and navigation elements, designed to be themeable, accessible, and responsive across web, mobile, and desktop environments. The platform emphasizes interoperability, offering adapters for React, Vue, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript, along with a design system that documents typography, color, spacing, and interaction patterns.

Founded in the early 2010s by a team of UI engineers, Widgetsand began as an internal toolkit before releasing an open-source core library in 2014. It expanded with a component marketplace, developer tooling, and cloud-hosted widget hosting. By 2019 it operated as a hybrid open-source and commercial platform, with enterprise plans and governance that encouraged community contributions under an open-source license.

The core library is released under an open-source license, with premium widgets and enterprise features offered under commercial licenses. The project maintains a contributor guide and a governance model to manage contributions and roadmaps.

Widgetsand is used by startups and enterprises to accelerate UI development and maintain design consistency across products. It is noted for accessibility and performance, including tree-shaking support and lazy loading. The project has an active community, with documentation, tutorials, and a plugin ecosystem that extends functionality for analytics, dashboards, and specialized interfaces.
