shadcn cli support

Thanks to shadcn for recently releasing the shadcn CLI, which now allows for other registries to be used. This means BackchannelUI can be installed easily using the shadcn CLI, and the components.json configuration will be respected as well.

To get started with BackchannelUI using the shadcn CLI, you can now run:

npx shadcn@latest add https://backchanel.com/default/button

Rename

I have renamed the project from shadcn-aria to BackchannelUI. It will keep the same goal of mimicking shadcn/ui components and converting them to react aria components. I simply renamed it as it did not feel right using shadcn's name on a project he hasn't officially endorsed/worked on, besides shadcn/ui itself being open-sourced.

Theme Customiser

Added a theme customizer to the site so you can customize the docs to your liking, and easily copy the css needed. Fully compatible with shadcn/ui.
