TopicsRadix UI
Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
A library of unstyled, fully accessible component primitives (dialogs, dropdowns, tooltips) that you style yourself — the foundation many other libraries (like shadcn/ui) are built on.
How to Learn This

- 2Notice how much accessibility (focus trapping, ARIA) comes for free.
- 3Compare 'headless' libraries like Radix to fully-styled ones like Material UI.
