What it does

DS-101 is a web based platform for building user interface components where design and development come together and speak the same language via components. A Single Source of Truth for all your design styles... from colors to images, icons, sounds to transitions... Visually build reusable, stateful UI components, simply by drag and drop / Achieve visual consistency by using tokens from your design system / Bring components to life by interactions and animations And components are ready to be used within multiple frameworks, React.js, Vue.js, Web Components, React Native and more. Either embed them in your codebase or use directly from cloud. And more will be with your feedbacks.

Toolabs is a web based #tokens and #components driven Design, Prototype, Document and Development Platform

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
