Introduction
alumna-shadcn is a CSS-first visual library for Alumna apps. It aims to give you a Vega-inspired look — buttons, cards, overlays, login and dashboard blocks — without Tailwind, TypeScript, or a component registry.
HTML with classes is the public API. You paste markup. The code is open (MIT). Copy what you need.
How it is organized
Two CSS files, then copy-paste HTML. alumna.css is invisible structure. alumna-shadcn.css is
tokens and skins. Optional thin Svelte wrappers live under src/components/ui/ when the markup is painful
to paste twice (spinner SVG, card parts, breadcrumb chevron,
overlay position in Place.svelte).
How to use it
Link the two stylesheets, paste a snippet into src/components/, and point a route at it (or
import a wrapper). Browse Components and Blocks in the nav
for previews. Do not copy site.css — that is
this docs site’s font only.
How it is distributed
You copy files. It is not an npm package and not alumna add — Alumna cannot install CSS that way
today. The steps are on Install.
