Origin UI - Svelte
An extensive collection of copy-and-paste Svelte components for quickly building app UIs.

+ ui primitives for navigating between, discovering them, managing them, etc ! (and on all the above, and the ones dan mentions, I don't think they need to look anything like the solutions we already have for these things, new ideas are possible!)
