Framer is a tool, not a skill. Figma is a tool, not a skill. Webflow is a tool, not a skill. Before diving into any tool, master the fundamentals: visual design, UI design, and website design. Without that foundation, you’re just a tool user, not a visual designer, UI designer, or website designer. Skills come first; tools are just the means to express them.

What's stopping web typography from feeling like Figma?

I built SUBSTRATA to find out, a moodboard tool powered by chenglou/pretext. No DOM reflow. Live type measurement. Editorial layouts in the browser.

Drop your answer below, and tell me what layout you'd build first.

Design.ID - a creative ID card generator for designers.

For the Omma Buildathon I built an interactive experience for designers.

My focus was elevating user experience using only Omma. After 90+ versions, Design.ID came to life.

Designers choose their character, input their info and get a personalised ID card. The final screen showcases a 3D card that tilts on hover with metallic reflections that follow along. A subtle detail: your character appears ghosted inside the metallic badge.

Try it: https://omma.build/p/designid-centered-welcome-page-sowjxh

From the particle logo on the first screen to the ID movements on the last, every interaction is intentional.

Fully responsive on desktop and mobile.
