Yaka UI Labs

Hey, this is us 👋

An illustration showing a variety of differently themed Octocats. Monuments from different cities are indicated in the background like the Space Needle, Berlin Fernsehturm and Transamerica Pyramid.

Yes, we are building the future of the web at Yaka Labs. We've been on a mission to rescue the internet from bloated legacy libraries since we pushed our very first commit — and we haven't stopped since. We've focused on making the web faster, interactive, and fun for the next generation of developers. 🤯 We are proud to prove that a small team can lead a movement that makes even the industry "Grandpas" take notice. 🦁 We are part of a global shift toward performance-first software.

🍿 An interconnected community

The open-source spirit is the 💗 heart of Yaka Labs and fundamental to how we build YakaJS today. See for yourself:

  • YakaJS has helped developers shed over 400KB of legacy plugin bloat in exchange for a 151KB all-in-one powerhouse 🚀
  • Our community is proving that you don't need decades of experience to create tools that impact the ecosystem 🎸
  • Every minute a developer realizes that modern Vanilla JS APIs are better than 15-year-old wrappers 🏄

Now that we are talking about the important things, ☝️ are you still using legacy jQuery in 2026? Yes? It's okay, we can help you get started with the Underscore ( _ ) Magic! Open source is built by people just like you. Learn more about how to contribute to Yaka.

🦦 Contributing to the ecosystem

We contribute to the tools 🔧 we rely on to build and run Yaka Labs, while also maintaining 🧙‍♂️ our own open source projects like:

  • YakaJS - The blazing-fast, lightweight library that makes legacy code cry
  • Yaka UI - A modern design system for fast interfaces
  • Yaka CLI - Coming Soon 🔧
  • Yaka Documentation - Readable, modern docs for the bold

👓 Appendix

See what's next on our public roadmap ✨ and let us know if you have any suggestions. 🙇‍♂️ Oh, and by the way, we are always looking for passionate developers to join our labs. 🙌

"Tell me more, I can't get enough!"
  • Yaka is built using mighty 🔨 open source technologies like Vanilla JS, Web Speech API, Vibration API, and Haptic Engines.
  • The three open source concepts we love the most are:
    • Zero-Dependency Architecture
    • Performance Optimization
    • Interactive Animations
  • By the way, our documentation 🤓 is also open sourced and actually fun to read.
🤫 Psst! You are looking at the future of Sri Lankan Software Engineering.
