Latest News
Singh reported that design-extract reached 4,000 GitHub stars, documenting its launch trajectory, npm downloads, and recovery after the GitHub restriction.
Published an independent comparison of designlang/design-extract, Dembrandt, and extract-design-system, explaining when each design extractor is a better fit.
Published an analysis of his 58-day GitHub account restriction, including exported security-log data and his finding that 93% of flagged OAuth activity came from GitHub's Copilot integrations.
design-extract launched publicly on GitHub and as the designlang npm package; The Agent Times covered it as an open-source CLI and Claude Code plugin for extracting website design systems.
Products & Services
Open-source CLI and MCP/Claude Code plugin that uses a headless browser to extract a live website's design system, including DTCG tokens, typography, colour, spacing, motion, components, voice, accessibility findings, responsive behaviour, and cross-platform outputs.
Aggregated, deduplicated catalogue of public APIs with automatic reachability checks, daily refreshes, npm distribution, Claude plugin support, and live search.
Rust tool that hands a complete Claude Code session to Codex, Gemini, Aider, or other agents when Claude Code reaches its rate limit.
Zero-setup real-time cost tracking and budget-management tool for Claude Code.
Market Position
designlang positions itself as a local, open-source alternative to design extractors such as Dembrandt, extract-design-system, and Design Extractor. Its differentiation is breadth and agent-native delivery: beyond colours, typography, spacing, and shadows, it extracts motion, responsive behaviour, component anatomy, brand voice, accessibility remediation, multi-page consistency, and cross-platform files, while exposing the results through npx and MCP integrations for coding agents.
Founding Story
Singh built design-extract/designlang after becoming tired of manually copying colours, fonts, and spacing from browser DevTools whenever he wanted to reproduce a website's visual language. His initial vision was a one-command, open-source tool that reads a live site's design system and makes the result directly usable by developers and AI coding agents.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Singh's principal developer tools are open-source and distributed through GitHub and npm/npx; designlang states that its capabilities are free, require no signup or API key, and have no paid tier.
