# About

> BNA UI's philosophy, origin, and the open source projects and community it's built on.

**BNA UI** — a React Native / Expo component library.
These components render through `react-native`, not the DOM: there are no HTML
elements, no Tailwind classes and no Radix primitives. Source is copied into your
project and imported through `@/components/ui/*`, `@/components/charts/*`,
`@/hooks/*` and `@/theme/*`. Colours come from the `useColor` hook rather than
hardcoded hex; sizing tokens (`HEIGHT`, `FONT_SIZE`, `BORDER_RADIUS`, `CORNERS`)
come from `@/theme/globals`.

## About

BNA UI is a mobile-first component library inspired by [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com), built specifically for React Native and Expo applications. Our mission is to provide developers with beautiful, accessible, and performant components that work seamlessly across iOS, Android, and web platforms.

## Philosophy

We believe that mobile development should be as elegant and efficient as web development. BNA UI bridges the gap between beautiful design and practical mobile implementation, giving developers the tools they need to create outstanding mobile experiences without compromising on performance or accessibility.
