Dragonfly vs HeroUI Pro (formerly NextUI Pro)

Dragonfly is a desktop and iPad client for Bluesky, built to make the social network feel smoother and more at home on Apple hardware. It is the first dedicated desktop and tablet experience for Bluesky, with a timeline, posting tools, and account controls wrapped in a native-style interface.

S?bastien Gruhier and In?s Gruhier, a father-daughter team behind Async Development and Odubu Design, built Dragonfly in Flutter after years of mobile game and app work. The app focuses on a cleaner reading and writing flow than browsing Bluesky in a web tab.

Dragonfly targets Bluesky users who want a focused Mac or iPad app with push notifications, theme switching, and roadmap features like synced bookmarks, custom feeds, and chat. Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android versions are listed as coming soon on the site.

HeroUI Pro is the premium tier of HeroUI, a design system with copy-paste React and React Native components, full-page templates, and developer tooling. It ships 65+ React components with 475+ examples, native mobile components, premium themes, and AI skills and MCPs for tools like Cursor and Claude. Teams use it to build polished web and mobile apps without rebuilding the same UI patterns from scratch.

The library extends open-source HeroUI with production-ready blocks such as command palettes, data grids, kanban boards, sidebars, charts, and a full set of chat primitives for conversations, prompt inputs, tool calls, and code blocks. It also includes ready-made templates for dashboards, mail, chat, and finance apps, plus a visual design system builder and Figma files with a theme sync plugin.

HeroUI Pro targets frontend developers and product teams shipping SaaS dashboards, fintech apps, AI chat interfaces, and mobile-first products. Licenses are perpetual with optional yearly update renewals, and a single license covers unlimited commercial projects.
