Diez is created & maintained by a YC company, Haiku (W18)
The Haiku team's mission is to "revolutionize the way teams create software, by unifying design & code."
In talking with our users, we recognized a huge unmet need in delivering a consistent visual identity across codebases — while embracing native platforms.
To that end, we spent the last year creating and iterating on Diez: a developer toolkit for expressing design languages in TypeScript, and a cross-platform native compiler targeting native iOS, Android, and Web: with a focus on native-developer ergonomics and scalability.
Now finally today: Diez is open source on GitHub. You can get started at https://diez.org
The figma integration currently appears to require logging into beta.diez.org, but I cannot find any sign up option anywhere. Is this feature not available yet?
There are a few places we need to update beta.diez.org => diez.org in our codebase & messaging. The beta site existed for our private beta. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
For now, until we update the urls: you can just manually remove 'beta.';
This looks very cool. I really appreciate work that went into this.
Since I work on a design system component library, I will organize a presentation of Diez for developers and designers to sit through together. I can see how this can be useful, we are already coding some of the rules, but this would integrate us on a whole new level. It does require a commitment from everyone that might be hard to get in a big corporation.
Thanks so much! Totally understood about the challenges of getting all the right folks to buy in on a large team. I'm here to help.
Would you like me to join your presentation by video call for a demo and Q&A? Also happy to swing by in person in the Bay Area. Just let me know: zack@diez.org
First, thank you for offering. We are in Chicago and I already did a presentation for wider team and it was really well received. I think it is perfect case for us and what we are doing.
Since you offered, I will hit you up from my corporate email and we can continue chatting there.
> A design language also known as design vocabulary is an overarching scheme or style that guides the design of a complement of products or architectural settings.
Diez is definitly an enterprise product. One day I hope I need this ;-)
This team is incredibly strong. I had the chance of hanging with them for an afternoon at their office and was blown away by their humility and knowledge.
