I built a registry of design systems for AI
AI likes markdown and natural language, so the new format for the design systems is a collection of markdown files such as:
brand.md
buttons.md
typography.md
cards.md
... you get the idea
The steps are pretty simple, you can import:
1. One of our predefined design skills as themes
2. Bring your own SKILL files in a ZIP
3. Import via Figma (this is still in beta preview)
Then our algorithm will select the best token and variable candidates for each markdown file
You then get a draft proposition for the markdown files which you can review, change, add, or remove from them
After you hit publish, this design system will be available to all of your AI tools like Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok Build, and others through our MCP server
Then all you need to do is just write the AI:
> Hey AI, what design systems do I have?
> Okay, let's install that one.
> Build me a landing page.
> Give me three more pricing variations.
> Actually, let's also explore more hero sections.
... and so on
Our MCP server not only brings together the design system for your projects, but we also have a proprietary database of layout and UI resources and prompts that will automatically suggest the best pages, sections, and element positionings
The tool is called:
TypeUI
Hosted Indie TM #9 in Timisoara on Wednesday. 9 other indie hackers showed up to demo their projects and get roasted by the room.
I've showcased my RCA insurance flow from https://t.co/fUJpodx1AG that's overcomplicated due to industry regulation.
@zawasp showed https://t.co/6vabhaeQ3X, a property management tool for landlords that auto-fills Romanian tax forms.
@dorutu_ demoed https://t.co/34uXZJQAwu, a dental booking platform that ran straight into GDPR constraints when storing patient data.
Valentin showed https://t.co/aT1aeLH3y1 deliverability tool.
Petru brought photorealistic 3D property tours.
Ionut closed with a synth he sells as a one-person studio: https://t.co/fgn122S5Eg
Then we spent an hour debating BYOK (bring your own key) for AI tools. Everyone in the room building with AI has hit this problem.
