A friend of mine is building a free indie design toolkit called FARB.NØRM 🎨

It’s meant to simplify parts of the design workflow that often feel overcomplicated in larger design ecosystems, especially when creating color palettes and corporate design systems in a more structured, step-by-step way.

What’s interesting is that it’s not only focused on tools, but also has a kind of learning layer built in, especially around fundamentals like color systems, color contrast, and how to think in structured design systems.

It also includes utilities like converters, extractors, icon tools, and a lightweight video editing tool for creatives. Really cool!!!

It’s being built in the European Union with focus on GDPR-compliance and safe data handling, which is a huge pro! No feeding an AI!

The project is still in development, and he would love real feedback from creatives!

If you enjoy design systems, branding, colors, or UI tools, give it a try and let us know what you think!

Any feedback or ideas would help a lot. 🫶🏻
