About Template 1

Full chat app empty state with a collapsible history sidebar, a greeting, colorful prompt starter tiles on a soft gray surface and a model-aware composer.

Template 1 is a free template block for React, built on shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS with motion animations that respect reduced-motion settings. It ships as 144 lines of TypeScript you own: every piece of copy is a prop with a sensible default, so you can drop it in and replace the content without touching the layout.
