Shadcn: The Secret to Productive UI Development

It’s a good product to save time but with many problems.
Personally, I had and still have problems with the Input and Select components, which are components that I use in a Dashboard, so I had to resort to pure html to be able to use them. In short: it consumes a lot of resources, and still has problems.
