About thefrontkit

Production-ready business apps for the AI & SaaS era, with receipts.

Gaurav Guha, Founder of thefrontkit

Hi, I'm Gaurav.

I've spent the last decade building UI tools used by hundreds of thousands of developers. I co-created NativeBase, an open-source component library that hit 100k+ weekly downloads on npm and generated over $750k in revenue.

thefrontkit is everything I wish existed when I was helping teams ship their first product. Complete business apps with real-world workflows, accessible by default, and built for the way modern SaaS and AI teams actually work.

I also run SailoLabs, an AI automation consulting agency. We find the slow, manual processes in a company's operations and rebuild them with AI, automation, and clean CRM systems, across HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive. Working hands-on with real CRM workflows, lead routing, and revenue systems is what shapes the domain logic inside thefrontkit's business apps.

"If it isn't accessible, it isn't finished. That's not a slogan, it's our engineering standard."

The Problem with Vibecoded UIs

Anyone can prompt a UI into existence today.

But vibecoding doesn't care if your components are accessible.

It doesn't generate consistent design tokens. And it definitely doesn't handle responsive edge cases.

What We Actually Ship

WCAG-AA compliant components, tested with real screen readers.

Design tokens that stay in sync from CSS custom properties to Tailwind to production.

Code reviewed by engineers who've shipped UI libraries to 100k+ developers.

Why Teams Choose thefrontkit

Accessibility First

Every app ships WCAG-AA compliant out of the box. Your product works for everyone from day one.

Design-Dev Sync

CSS custom properties and Tailwind classes stay perfectly aligned. One source of truth from design to production, no drift.

Ship in Days, Not Weeks

Start with a complete business app, not a blank canvas. CRM pipelines, storefronts, dashboards, and AI patterns are already wired up.

Composable & Scalable

Built on composable primitives that grow with your product. Add features without rewrites, swap pieces without breaking others.

Our Mission

We're here to make "accessible" and "fast to build" stop being trade-offs. SaaS founders and AI teams shouldn't have to choose between shipping quickly and shipping responsibly. Every app we build is production-grade, WCAG-AA compliant, and designed so your team can go from zero to launched in days, not months.

Our Story

thefrontkit didn't start in 2025. It started almost a decade ago, when I was building developer tools and learning (the hard way) what makes frontend work actually stick.

2016

Started building developer tools and open-source libraries for the React Native ecosystem.

2017

Co-created NativeBase, an open-source UI component library. It grew to 100k+ weekly npm downloads and powered thousands of apps worldwide.

2021

NativeBase crossed $750k in revenue from premium offerings. The team learned what developers actually need: accessible, consistent, production-grade UI.

2023

Laid the foundation of gluestack, a universal UI library bringing consistent, accessible components across React Native and web.

2026

Launched thefrontkit, applying a decade of lessons to build production-ready business apps for Next.js. CRM, e-commerce, blog CMS, AI chat, and more. WCAG-AA by default.
