default UI of the internet

I'm being very pedantic here in true HN fashion, but at most it's the default UI of VC-funded B2B SaaS startups. 95% of the internet-using world never comes across shadcn UIs.

not at all, Shadcn has been a game changer for all young, bootstrapped and individual developers. Who now have a professional looking UI available for free and easy to use.

There are echo chambers and availability biases, it takes a bigger person to know that they live in one.

It’s also looks like some shit you can make in a weekend. There must have been a boot camp behind pushing it.
