## Is Shadcn Templates worth it?

Only relevant if you make something shadcn/ui related, such as a template, theme, component set, registry or developer tool. The link to your demo or site is dofollow and the audience is exactly shadcn users. The catch is the queue: as of November 2026 the last pull requests were merged on May 27, 2026 and about a dozen newer ones are still open, so submit it, then forget about it.

## Who should submit to Shadcn Templates?

Suits makers of shadcn/ui templates, boilerplates, component libraries, themes, registries and related developer tools, free or paid. Does not suit general SaaS, AI or mobile products, which fall outside the repository rules, or anyone who needs a listing on a deadline.

## What you need before you submit

- A shadcn/ui related resource
- A GitHub account to open a pull request
- A markdown file with the required front matter
- A hosted avatar image URL and a demo URL

## How to submit

1. Open the shadcnblocks/shadcntemplates repository on GitHub
2. Add content/${author}-${templatename}.md using the Add file button or a fork
3. Fill the front matter (title, author, avatarUrl, demoUrl, description, category) and an overview
4. Open a pull request and wait for a merge

## Pros

- Free, no account on the site itself
- Dofollow links to the demo and repository
- Audience is exactly shadcn/ui developers
- Paid templates are accepted too

## Cons

- Pull requests are merged rarely, in batches
- The site itself has no visible submit link
- Narrow niche: shadcn/ui only
- No control over timing

## Tips

- Copy the example front matter from the README exactly
- Use the author-templatename.md file name format
- Add a working demo URL, since it becomes the main button
- Keep the description factual and short
