# Welcome to Valence

Valence is an opinionated design system and React component library designed by Isaac Shea. It is currently in use in [Threaditor](https://threaditor.net/), and is designed to be completely usable across all platforms.

## Motivation

This library exists to combat shortcomings I (Isaac Shea) had found with other libraries. I had previously been using Mantine for my projects, however found I was re-constructing several core components *on top* of Mantine, thus eventually decided to start from the bottom with my own design system.

Valence is updated alongside any current projects I work on, and thus follows my own personal design sense quite closely. I attempt to build in as much customizability as possible, however sometimes I am too lazy to add granular control.

## Open source

Valence is open source! It is available [here on GitHub](https://github.com/valence-dev/valence-ui).
