> PrimeNG had a licensing change recently

Both attempts [1] to surface this on HN failed but if you are using a PrimeTek component library you need to be aware of this change.

PrimeNG, PrimeReact, and PrimeVue are all going fully closed source and ongoing licencing will be $800 per developer seat in 2027. [2]

The previous repos have been archived. [3]

PrimeFaces remains open source but it's now developed and maintained by independent volunteer developers who are not employees of PrimeTek.

Well, fuck.

Any community forks?

I'm building Lily Design System as a response to Shadcn and similar systems not yet being available directly for multiple stacks including Svelte, Angular, Nunchucks. It's all free open source. If you want to send me your feedback, suggestions, etc. I can easily add things to Lily.

Correct. Nothing else comes close.

I'm in the same boat. We've been using PrimeNG for several apps at my job, and until we find a suitable replacement, we'll be stuck on using Angular 21.

That being said, a group did fork PrimeNG, and plan on maintaining it (new name pending)
