What is DialKit?

DialKit is an open-source library that adds a live control panel to your interface, with sliders, toggles, color pickers, spring and easing editors and a timeline editor. It supports React, Solid, Svelte, Vue and plain JavaScript, and AI agents can wire up controls from a plain-language prompt.

Pros: what DialKit does well

  • Tune animations and layout in real time
  • Works across React, Solid, Svelte, Vue and JavaScript
  • MIT licensed

Cons: where it falls short

  • A developer tool you add to your own project
  • Controls should be hidden or removed in production
