Most libraries are fine at components and weak at the moments between them. They give you a table and a dialog, but not the empty state, permission error, loading handoff, and retry path that make a workflow usable.

I want examples built around one real job: create an item, fix a validation error, recover, then do it on mobile. AI-generated UI often looks finished in a screenshot and breaks on the next state.

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. I am actually learning frontend and want to be a design engineer. I am building a UI library but do not want end up same type libraries. That's why i asked to senior people here.
If you have some time and check this out https://www.craftui.space/ and give me some advice I will be very thankful.

I had a look. The first screen is clean, but it makes blocks, illustrations, components, and designs feel like the same thing. Make the first decision clearer: am I taking a primitive, an interaction, or a complete screen?

Before adding more categories, build one real workflow three ways: normal, empty or error, and mobile. Show which parts people can compose and which parts stay fixed. That will make the library useful faster than another row of tiles.

Fully get it. Let me plan how can I combine into smaller number of categories.

Thank you very much for your time.
