21st
ActiveInfrastructure and UI building blocks for the agentic internet
This company has previously operated under “21st”, “1code by 21st.dev”, “1code (21st.dev)”, “1code (ex: 21st.dev)”, “1code (21st.dev)”, “21st.dev”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
