From an earlier post, but still core to our vision:
“The tools we use are the lens through which we view our products. We are building Luro to expand that lens so that teams can build together more effectively and with a unified sense of purpose.”

Loved watching The Creator last night — crazy to me tho that the 20+ year old Radiohead song featured early on was the most futuristic part of the whole thing boxd.it/4XCxLj

Some of my favorite views in Luro are the site-wide view of performance and accessibility metrics.
We don’t mean to replace humans/experts testing thoroughly, but dang — it’s good to get the low-hanging fruit out of the way.
Do design systems have a single source of truth?
I’d love to get your thoughts 👀

We built Luro to remove all the friction from the process of spinning up a design system so you can focus on designing, building, and shipping your components with your team.

“Often overlooked once the sprint ends and tickets close, this very information that cost the team so much time and effort disappears (whispers in dramatic voice) like vapor at the end of the waterfall.”

Updating my synthwave focus playlist — spotify.link/kMbwb3lZiDb
I’ve noticed play counts for this genre rise during work weeks and dip over holidays and even summer months
Anyways — it’s great for gettin’ stuff done!
…we believe [design systems] are the magical keys to building products at scale — making us highly organized and efficient so that we can focus our time and talents on innovation.
But for all of these wonderful things to be true, must first ship!
