ShipUI's Fourth Theme: GLASS // NEXT

The fourth ShipUI theme is out. If RETRO is loud, ALOHA is warm, and NOIR is sharp. GLASS is soft and deep.

GLASS // NEXT is a glassmorphism starter built for modern SaaS and AI product landing pages. Near-black backgrounds, frosted panels layered on top, sky and indigo gradients for accents, Inter for body text, Space Grotesk for display.

What's Included

A full design system built around frosted UI and gradient depth. Every component, every page, wired up and ready to customize.

Components:

  • Buttons (primary gradient, secondary glass) with glow hover effects
  • Cards with backdrop-filter: blur(), subtle borders, and hover lift
  • Badges in five color variants: sky, indigo, cyan, violet, emerald
  • Text component with body, caption, label, and display variants
  • Section headers, eyebrows, and layout primitives

Page sections:

  • Hero with animated background blobs and a stats strip
  • Features grid with scroll reveal
  • About section with abstract glassmorphism dashboard illustration
  • Newsletter CTA with frosted panel and gradient accent

Layout and auth:

  • Header and footer with Space Grotesk branding
  • Login page
  • Sign up page
  • 404 and error boundary pages

Tech stack:

  • Next.js 15 with App Router
  • React 19
  • TypeScript 5 strict mode
  • Tailwind v4

No broken imports. No manual wiring. Install dependencies and it works.

Works with ShipKit

GLASS // 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

Four themes are now live: RETRO // NEXT, ALOHA // NEXT, NOIR // NEXT, and GLASS // NEXT. More 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.
