So what is it?

Galaxy is a repository that archives over 3,000 UI elements collected from Uiverse.io, a platform where designers and developers share ready-made interface components built with HTML, CSS, or Tailwind. The elements include things like buttons, checkboxes, loaders, cards, and other visual building blocks that you can copy directly into a web project. The repository exists mainly as a convenient archive and a place to access the raw code. The recommended way to browse the collection is the Uiverse.io website, which provides a visual interface so you can see what each element looks like before picking one. The GitHub repository is kept in sync automatically as new submissions are approved on the platform. Adding to the collection works through the platform rather than GitHub directly. You create a UI element, submit it to Uiverse.io, and once it is reviewed and approved, it gets added to this repository automatically. Pull requests made directly to this repository are not accepted. All elements are available under the MIT license, which means you can use and modify them in personal or commercial projects. The README asks that users credit the original creator and Uiverse.io when using an element, though this is not a legal requirement under the license.
