The world runs on open source software. The frameworks, libraries, and tools we rely on are made possible by communities that share ideas and build in the open.
At Vercel, we want to help those communities thrive. That’s why we run the Vercel Open Source Program: a developer initiative that gives maintainers the resources and support they need to keep shipping and growing their projects.
Four times a year, we welcome a new cohort of open source projects into the program. Maintainers receive $3,600 in Vercel platform credits, a starter pack with credits from third-party services, and guidance from Vercel and the community.
Today, we welcome a new cohort into the program.

An unofficial SvelteKit port of Vercel AI Elements, built on shadcn-svelte, providing a component registry for AI-native interfaces like chat apps, reasoning UIs, and workflow builders.
Link to headingNextly
An open-source, MIT-licensed, TypeScript-first CMS and app framework for Next.js that lets you define content schemas directly in code or through a visual admin builder. It provides a typed REST and Direct API, a customizable admin dashboard, pluggable database and storage adapters, and built-in features like auth, RBAC, media, and hooks.
Link to headingTirith
A Rust-based terminal security tool that intercepts shell commands, pasted content, and files before execution to block threats like homograph URLs, pipe-to-shell attacks, ANSI injection, obfuscated payloads, and malicious AI agent configs. It functions as a pre-execution gate via shell hooks, an MCP server, and a CLI scanner, using 80+ detection rules plus a signed threat intelligence database covering known-malicious packages, IPs, and typosquats.
Link to headingbestJavaer
An open-source lab documenting AI-assisted coding workflows, Agent experiments, tool evaluations, and failure cases for Chinese-speaking developers.
Link to headingBklit UI
An open-source library of customizable React chart and utility components, distributed as a shadcn registry. It also includes Studio, an interactive playground for tweaking charts and exporting the generated code or registry JSON.
Link to headingMultiple Cucumber HTML Reporter
A Node.js module that converts Cucumber JSON output into interactive, customizable HTML reports with features like a dashboard, dark mode, multi-run consolidation, and rich metadata display.
Link to headingPayRoutes
A unified open-source TypeScript SDK that simplifies payment processing across different providers with a consistent API.
Link to headingArtifact
An open-source, MIT-licensed workspace that helps researchers discover and dive deep into papers using an AI assistant, with support for arXiv, uploaded documents, and website links such as technical blogs.
Link to headingbrepjs
A TypeScript library for CAD modeling in JavaScript that uses exact B-Rep (boundary representation) geometry rather than triangle meshes, enabling precise booleans, real measurements, and STEP file export. It targets parametric parts like enclosures and brackets, leveraging TypeScript's type system so that if it compiles, the geometry is valid.
Link to headingIconiq
A component library offering shadcn/ui primitives you own, paired with subtle motion animations so developers can drop in components, adjust tokens, and ship quickly without boilerplate setup.
Link to headingshadcnpreset
An open-source fork of the shadcn/ui monorepo that lets users browse real shadcn/ui presets, preview them live, search in plain English, vote on favorites, and install them via the shadcn CLI. It layers a Next.js app onto the upstream CLI, registry, and customizer so preset pages stay synced with the v4 create experience.
Link to headingZoonk
An open-source platform for interactive learning, built primarily with TypeScript and using technologies like Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and Tailwind CSS.
Link to headingopen-slide
A React-based slide framework designed for AI coding agents, where each deck renders to a fixed 1920×1080 canvas and agents generate the slide components from natural language prompts. It includes features like an in-browser inspector for commenting on elements, a presenter mode, an asset manager, and export to static HTML or PDF.
Link to headingRallly
An open-source tool for scheduling group meetings by creating simple polls to find the best possible date and time based on each of the participants' availability. Built with Next.js, Prisma, tRPC, and TailwindCSS, it helps users coordinate events without all the lengthy back-and-forth email exchanges.

Link to headingtaste-skill
A collection of portable Agent Skills for AI coding tools (Codex, Cursor, Claude Code) designed to improve AI-generated frontend interfaces with better layout, typography, motion, and spacing. It also includes image-generation skills for producing reference boards like web comps, mobile screens, and brand kits that can then be handed off to coding agents for implementation.
Link to headingCaracal
A security-first authority and delegation system for AI agents that acts as an authority plane, enabling agents to safely access tools, APIs, and providers through scoped, short-lived, revocable, and fully auditable credentials, all without ever embedding any provider secrets directly in agent code.
Link to headingClaude-Mem
A persistent memory compression system for Claude Code (and other agents like Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Codex) that automatically captures session activity, generates semantic summaries, and injects relevant context into future sessions, seamlessly preserving context across sessions.
Link to headingTabularis
An open-source, Apache 2.0-licensed database client supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite, built with React and Rust/Tauri. It features SQL notebooks, visual EXPLAIN, a built-in MCP server for AI agents, and a plugin system that lets developers add support for additional databases in any language.
