About Milda

Milda exists to make a design system something you design - visually, once - and ship everywhere, as real code. It treats your design system as a single source of truth and compiles it, rather than asking you to hand-maintain a component library by hand.

#The problem

A design system is usually expressed three or four times over: in design tooling, in a React library, maybe in native code, and in docs. Each copy drifts from the others. Keeping them in sync is constant, manual, thankless work - and the larger the org, the worse it gets.

#The approach

Milda is a compiler with two front-ends. You author in a visual editor or as text; the result is one platform-neutral document; and generators turn that one document into real outputs. One source of truth, many targets, no drift. See What Milda is.

#Principles

You own the output. Generated code is yours, unrestricted - export is always available.
Open at the core. The language and the React generator are open; the editor and hosted infrastructure are the product. See Editions.
Neutral by construction. Nothing platform-specific lives in the model - only in how a generator realizes it. That's what keeps a system portable.

Where this is going

React generation, foundations, targets, release, the hosted registry, Figma export, the Mac canvas, the CLI, the MCP server and the editor tooling are built today; more code targets are listed and not yet generated. Every status claim in these docs renders from one table that a test holds to the product.
