I've been building interfaces with Angular for many years now. For my own products, for clients, and for the last few years as engineering lead at @mboadigital. And for all those years, one thing kept frustrating me. Every new project started the same way. Pick a UI library. Angular Material looked like Google. Other big suites looked like themselves. Making any of them look like "our" brand meant fighting the library instead of building the product. Meanwhile, I was watching the React ecosystem. shadcn/ui and Tailwind changed how people build interfaces: components you copy into your project, own and change freely. Beautiful defaults, but never locked in. I kept looking for the same thing in Angular. Something built for how we write Angular today: signals, zoneless, SSR. Accessible from the first line. Built for humans and recently, for AI agents. I couldn't find one I was happy with. So I built it. Introducing Ndop UI 🪡 An open-source design system for modern Angular. - 50 components, 12 blocks and 5 themes you add with one command and fully own - Accessibility tested in CI on every component: 0 axe violations - Signals, zoneless and SSR-ready, for Angular 21 and 22 - Small: the button is 1.3 KB gzipped - Updates still reach you after you customise a component - Built for you and your coding agent, with an MCP server and docs that AI tools can read Why "Ndop"? Ndop is the indigo royal cloth of Cameroon's Grassfields, covered in repeating geometric patterns. Every community wears the same patterns in its own way. That's exactly what a design system should be: a shared language that every app weaves its own way. A few things I learned building it: - AI helped me build this much faster than I could have alone. But the decisions, the architecture, the "no, this isn't right yet" moments, still had to come from me. - Shipping early is humbling. The first developers to read the code gave me sharp feedback, and the library is already better because of it. - A design system shouldn't make every site look the same. To prove it, I'm building Motifs: twelve landing pages for twelve fictional brands, all with Ndop UI. Ndop UI is free and open source under the MIT licence. 📖 Docs and live examples: ndop.dev ⭐ Code: github.com/ndop-ui/ui If you build with Angular, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's missing. And if it helps you, a star on GitHub goes a long way.
