Questions
Shadcnblocks or PixilUI for an AI SaaS app?
Often both. Shadcnblocks for the marketing site, auth, settings, tables and dashboards; PixilUI for the moments where the agent asks for approval, runs steps, calls tools and streams text, each with its states listed.
Can they share a project?
Yes. Shadcnblocks blocks use shadcn/ui theme variables and PixilUI items read foundation.css; both install with the shadcn CLI into separate folders.
