Been building Animus, an offline 2D character and UI animation studio.
Draw. Rig. Animate. Export.
No subscription. No cloud. No runtime dependency.
Yours forever.
What you see in this video:
→ Drawing directly inside Animus
→ Bone rigging attached to the art
→ Timeline animation
→ State machine
→ WASM export running live in a browser
The exported bundle drops into any webpage, Framer custom component, or game engine. One file. Self-contained. The character reacts to hover, click, scroll, whatever you wire it to.
This is what I'm building instead of paying Rive $XX/month.
Animus is in active development. Looking for animators, Framer developers and indie devs who want to test it early.

After a long time, I explored a new hero concept inspired by Indian craftsmanship and editorial luxury. ✨
Still early, but I loved blending ornate details with a modern web experience.
Should i turn this into a full landing page? ✨

Title:
I built a design system generator inside Figma Make. Here's the workflow.
The problem I kept running into: every new client project meant re-explaining the brand to every AI tool from scratch. Figma Make didn't know the colors. Cursor didn't know the tokens. Claude didn't know the rules. I was the shared memory — and I kept losing things.
So I built Design System Gen. Entirely inside Figma Make. Powered by Claude API.
The workflow:
Upload brand references → Claude API analyzes them across 8 dimensions (palette, mood, typography, composition, lighting, texture, motion, UI DNA) → structured data, not vibes → generates 11 files, each formatted for a specific tool in your stack.
figma-make.md → paste once, Figma Make knows your entire design system
design-system.css → all tokens as CSS custom properties
tokens.json → W3C format, imports directly into Figma Variables
starter.tsx → React starter with tokens already bound
.cursorrules → Cursor knows your system from root
Claude.md → Claude reads it automatically every session
+ 5 more for docs, LLMs, prompts, components
Every tool gets its own context file. All consistent with each other.
The part I'm most proud of: I'm a designer. I don't write code. The entire tool — UI, API integration, file generation logic — was built and shipped inside Figma Make. No external hosting. No separate codebase.

As someone who constantly jumps between Figma, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, and other AI tools, this problem feels very familiar 😅
The tools are getting smarter, but keeping context consistent is still surprisingly manual. Love seeing people tackle that gap.
