LazyUI
Share UI. Get Discovered. Build Your Portfolio.
Overview
A design-sharing platform where UI designers publish components and get a portfolio built around their work — while developers copy production-ready UI blocks directly into their projects. Built entirely in Next.js with no Framer dependency.

The Process
LazyUI started from the same insight as CrazyUI — designers and developers are constantly rebuilding the same UI patterns from scratch — but took a different direction: instead of a paid library, a community platform where designers share their best work and get something back in return.
The platform serves two sides simultaneously. For developers, it's a fast, searchable library of production-ready UI components and sections they can copy directly into their projects. One click, clean code, ready to go. For designers, it's more than a showcase — it's a portfolio builder. When a designer publishes their components to LazyUI, a portfolio is automatically assembled around their work, giving them a professional presence without having to build one from scratch.
This dual-value model is what separates LazyUI from generic component libraries. Designers are incentivised to contribute because they get visibility and a portfolio in return. Developers benefit from a constantly growing library of real, tested components contributed by active practitioners.
The copy-paste mechanism was built natively in Next.js — no Framer involved — making it faster, more customisable, and easier to extend than the Framer-dependent approach used in earlier work. Components are categorised intelligently, filterable by style and purpose, and each entry links back to its creator's auto-generated portfolio page.
Built with Next.js App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Firebase on the backend. The platform is live at lazyui.com and actively growing.
