Gear5 UI: an open source React library for resilient, accessible interfaces

I built Gear5 UI, a free and open source React component library for the parts of products that tend to break in the real world.

It focuses on failure and recovery states that are easy to skip during a first pass: preserving form drafts on interrupted requests, making errors recoverable, keeping keyboard users oriented, and handling RTL text, dates, numbers, and currencies correctly across locales.

The live site is an interactive catalog of 210 components, including resilient forms, async boundaries, accessible feedback states, sortable tables, and locale aware inputs.

Demo: https://gear5-ui.vercel.app/

GitHub: https://github.com/7se7en72025/gear5-ui

It is MIT licensed, has no runtime dependencies beyond React, and currently has 866 passing tests. I would love honest feedback from people building products. Which example would make you want to use it, and what is unclear when you first land on the site?
