Builder.io — Design System
Builder.io codes its brand in Geist: 56px/500 warm-white headlines on #0A0A0A, 15px body, and the signature move — cyan #01C8F1 buttons labeled in Geist Mono caps like terminal commands (START BUILDING). Agent chat panels and visual editor frames do the demoing; an AI page-builder whose own page reads like a well-linted codebase.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/ds/builder-io.
