A few weeks ago, Quiet UI made the rounds when it was released as an open source user interface library, built with JavaScript web components. I had the opportunity to check out the documentation and it seemed like a solid library. I’m always super excited to see more options for web components out in the wild.
Unfortunately, before we even had a chance to cover it here at CSS-Tricks, Quiet UI has disappeared. When visiting the Quiet UI website, there is a simple statement:
Unavailable
Quiet UI is no longer available to the general public. I will continue to maintain it as my personal creative outlet, but I am unable to release it to the world at this time.
Thanks for understanding. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.
The repository for Quiet UI is no longer available on Quiet UI’s GitHub, and its social accounts seem to have been removed as well.
The creator, Cory LaViska, is a veteran of UI libraries and most known for work on Shoelace. Shoelace joined Font Awesome in 2022 and was rebranded as Web Awesome. The latest version of Web Awesome was released around the same time Quiet UI was originally announced.
According to the Quiet UI site, Cory will be continuing to work on it as a personal creative outlet, but hopefully we’ll be able to see what he’s cooking up again, someday. In the meantime, you can get a really good taste of what the project is/was all about in Dave Rupert’s fantastic write-up.
