ShipUI's Eighth Theme: BLUEPRINT // NEXT

The eighth ShipUI theme is out. If RETRO is loud, ALOHA is warm, GLASS is soft, NOIR is sharp, LAB is technical, SOLAR is bold, and FOLIO is editorial, BLUEPRINT is precise.

BLUEPRINT // NEXT is built around the aesthetic of engineering drawings and technical documentation. Space Mono as the display font, Inter for body copy. Deep navy backgrounds, cyan and amber accents, dashed borders, registration marks.

Works with ShipKit

BLUEPRINT // 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.
