The Incredible Overcomplexity of the Shadcn Radio Button
Summary
The article critiques the complexity introduced by Shadcn and Radix for styling and rendering radio buttons in a web app, arguing that native HTML input elements paired with simple CSS would be simpler, faster, and more maintainable. It examines how Shadcn relies on Radix primitives, ARIA roles, and multiple dependencies, and suggests that developers should favor native controls when possible to reduce cognitive load and improve performance.
