over 1k+ github stars for Extend UI (and growing!) we're going to double down & make this library the most useful open source toolkit for everything related to documents what do you want us to build next?


Added a file system component built on top of the existing Extend UI file viewers and trees from @pierrecomputer Code is available below



Introducing Extend UI — open-source components for document agents - 14 components & examples for PDF, DOCX, and XLSX viewers, plus bounding box citations, file upload, e-signature, and more - fully customizable - MIT licensed when we started, we tried every file viewer and document component library we could find unfortunately, none of them had all the functionality (and polish) that we wanted, so we ended up building our own for @ExtendHQ it was only ever meant to be internal, but enough customers kept asking for it that we decided to give it back to the community it's useful for building agents, user-facing document flows, or internal tools we use and maintain it for Extend ourselves, so it'll keep getting better over time (and it's battle tested on millions of pages running through our system every day) it also works with design system agents like @magicpatterns for faster exploration and prototyping available today on the @shadcn component registry! some examples in 🧵

@kushalbyatnal amazing stuff, integrating now. would be awesome if you also shipped a file system viewer so somebody can do a simple web-based file navigator which when you click on an item traverses an index and then opens the actual file with these extend components
