ShipUI's Second Theme: ALOHA // NEXT
The second ShipUI theme is out. Same idea as RETRO // NEXT, skip the setup and start building. Different aesthetic entirely.
ALOHA // NEXT is a tropical Hawaiian starter. Sandy backgrounds, coral and turquoise accents, Pacifico as the display font. It's warm and playful without being unprofessional.

- Text component with body, caption, label, and code variants
- Section headers, eyebrows, and layout primitives
Page sections:

- Newsletter CTA
Layout and auth:
- Header and footer

No broken imports. No manual wiring. Install dependencies and it works.
Works with ShipKit
ALOHA // NEXT pairs with ShipKit if you use it. If you're wondering why ShipKit exists, Why We Built ShipKit explains the problem it solves.
The bundle adds ShipKit AI conventions for $10 on top of the base theme: cursor rules, project structure docs, and a CLAUDE.md ready to go.
The theme also works standalone. No ShipKit dependency, no lock-in.
Pricing
$29 for the theme. $39 for the theme with ShipKit conventions. One-time purchase, instant download, permanent link.
No subscriptions.
What's Next
More themes are in progress. The goal is the same across all of them: a real design system, a modern stack, and nothing left for you to wire up yourself.
