Notes from building karaUI: accessibility, motion, touch and the details behind the components.
How karaUI gives small controls a 44×44px hit area on touch screens with one invisible ::after box, without changing how anything looks or lays out, plus the overlap math, the hybrid-device caveat and iOS's 16px input rule.
A step-by-step tutorial that composes karaUI's agent components into a working chat screen: a reader-aware transcript, a composer with stop, a streaming fetch backend, suggestions for the empty state, message actions, response branches, a model picker and a context meter.
An honest comparison of karaUI, Magic UI, Aceternity UI, Motion Primitives, React Bits and shadcn/ui: how each is distributed, what it animates with, theming, reduced motion, scope, license and pricing, with every claim checked against the libraries' own sites.
