I got tired of rebuilding the same design system over and over, so I built Coreframe

Every new project seemed to start the same way:

• Create color variables

• Create typography scales

• Create spacing tokens

• Create shadows and radius values

• Build buttons

• Build inputs

• Build cards

• Create variants and states

None of it was difficult. It was just repetitive. After repeating this process across multiple projects, I started wondering "Why am I rebuilding the same foundations every time?". That question eventually became Coreframe. A Figma plugin that helps generate design tokens, component systems, and developer-ready exports directly inside Figma.

Building the plugin taught me a lot about:

• Figma Variables

• Component architecture

• Plugin performance

• Design system scalability

• The launch is finally live.

I'm curious, What is the most repetitive part of building a design system for you?
Why this works:

• Story first

• Product second

• Discussion last
