Showcase Your Work

In the newest episode of Show your work, we hand the mic to a type designer who builds animated lettering with shader fills, entirely in Kitebox. Type in motion She walks through her file structure, the variables that drive each frame, and how she exports for the web.

After six weeks of evenings, I've published my first design system as a community file: 120 components, light and dark modes, all built on variables. What I learned: Start with tokens, not components. Name variables for purpose (surface/raised), never for colour (grey-100). Document as you go. I did

I built a small plugin that turns any frame into an A4 spec sheet: measurements, colours with their variable names, and type styles, laid out for printing or PDF. It's free and open source. Would love bug reports.

I've published a dashboard kit with 40 chart components — line, bar, area and donut — all driven by variables so you can change the data in the side panel.
