Hello Awesome Indie👋

This project initially started out because we review a lot of apps on our blog readcaffeine.com but don't have the capacity to review every app that shows up on our radar, or the app simply doesn't have enough substance to be reviewed.

So I started by adding any tool that caught my eye while browsing the web, or from other resource directories to an Airtable Database, and now we have curated 100+ Tools for Founders and Business Owners 🎉

We add our Tools in batches, so remember to bookmark the link and check back regularly.

If you have a tool that you want to add, please don't hesitate to navigate to the Add Tool section on our website, and tell us about it.

And that's about it!👋

Your website holds your design tokens

Design tokens are the smallest parts of your design: colors, typography, spacing etc. With them you can make consistent experiences across different parts of your website and app and even across projects.
Use them anywhere

Superposition extracts the design tokens your site already has and exports them to CSS, Scss, JavaScript, Figma and Adobe XD with Sketch, Swift and Android exports on the way.

From the overview of each group, simply click on a token to add the CSS value to your clipboard for easy usage.
