What it is ​

PanelUI is an MIT-licensed React Native component library for Expo projects. It combines Tailwind styling with accessible components, animation examples and app-oriented patterns; the current live site lists 136 components at review. The homepage shows examples in several theme families, including dashboard, assistant and milestone interfaces.

When to open it ​

Open it when building an Expo app and you want a broad set of native components with ready-made examples, or when comparing how to document a large mobile library by category and live demo.

Most useful ​

  • Component catalogue: browse the live docs by component family and inspect examples before integrating them.
  • Theme families: compare Panel, Moon and Grass treatments without changing the library's component model.
  • Animation examples: the docs emphasize Reanimated behavior on the UI thread and compatibility with Expo Go.

Using it with agents ​

The official llms.txt indexes the documentation and agent resources. The docs provide an installable skill and an MCP integration; use their current setup pages for client-specific configuration. Components are also documented for direct project installation. The live site and docs are the current count source; the repository README has an older component count.

Watch out for ​

  • Confirm the Expo, React Native and Tailwind versions required by the current installation guide.
  • The repository README is behind the live docs in its component count, so prefer the website's catalogue and llms.txt when checking what is available.
  • Test animations on the target devices and reduced-motion settings before shipping.

Reusable ideas ​

  • Let developers browse mobile components through realistic app surfaces, not just isolated controls.
  • Offer distinct theme presets while keeping component structure and usage consistent.
  • Publish a searchable docs index, an agent skill and MCP access alongside the component catalogue.
