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 a visual front-end. You author in a visual editor; the result is captured in a platform-neutral model (the IR); and generators turn that one model into real outputs. One source of truth, many targets, no drift. See How Milda works.

#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, and release are built today; Figma component export, more code targets, and hosted collaboration are on the roadmap. The honest status is flagged throughout these docs.
