React Native Reusables brings the shadcn/ui experience to React Native: copy-paste or CLI-scaffolded components, theming via CSS variables, and RN Primitives under the hood. It supports Nativewind and Uniwind, requires a root `PortalHost` for overlays, and uses a `Text` inheritance system and an `Icon` wrapper for Lucide.
