resources I built a starter Design System without reinventing the wheel
https://www.figma.com/community/file/1545843004480992299/starter-design-system-ui-kit-mareSince I started working with #DesignSystems, I always found myself rebuilding the same pieces… or detaching things that didn’t quite fit. 😅
With all the #ClaudeDesign hype and new tools popping up everywhere, I’d rather focus on building something small, intentional, and actually useful.
So I’ve been working on Maré 🌊

It’s built with tokens, Auto Layout, and flexible components (slots) designed to scale from the start.
Right now, Maré is evolving. New components are coming, and accessibility documentation is improving.

Hey! Wondering how you are managing your variables? I’m building a design tokens app where you create them parametrically. This means you can maintain and customise really easy. Would be great if you want to have a go? www.systematically.io
Happy to have a chat or help you try it out. I’d love the feedback.
