shadcn-cpp

Native C++23 and Qt 6 components for desktop applications.

The API uses normal Qt widgets, layouts and signals. The components follow the stock shadcn/ui Nova references while keeping Qt ownership and accessibility rules.

The project is at version 0.1.1. The guide covers all 62 stock component entries and three C++ recipes. Build the gallery or add the source to a CMake project to try them.
