Apr 22, 2026Why constraints breed creativity — and how a token-driven architecture makes every component a downstream consumer.
519 configurable fields, 33 categories, one source of truth. Edit the spec, not the components.
Perceptual uniformity, wider gamut, and predictable lightness. The case for a modern color space.
46 presets, seven aesthetic families. How visual identity becomes a single function call.
forwardRef, className passthrough, var(--s-*) only. Anatomy of a token-driven component.
Semantic color tokens map meaning to hue. Primary, destructive, muted — each carries weight.
Turbo, tsup, pnpm workspaces. How we build 350+ components across six packages.
Constraints don't limit expression — they channel it. Context tells agents what looks good; constraints make it impossible to look bad.
