What is it?
Animal-Island-UI is a lightweight React and TypeScript component library with a playful, cozy visual language. Buttons, cards and other components share one design system, and the icons, layouts and animations were created for the project rather than taken from existing kits.
You install it from npm, import the stylesheet once with `import 'animal-island-ui/style'`, and then use components such as Button and Card in your app. The repository includes a demo site, a design-system specification with per-component specs, and an installable agent skill that helps AI coding tools generate pages in this style. A Vue port, animal-island-vue, is maintained separately.
The project is MIT licensed and was built independently, without any association with a game company.
