I have built a design system builder concept that can generate code as well. It&#x27;s called ui-editor, you can check it out here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;imvetri&#x2F;ui-editor">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;imvetri&#x2F;ui-editor</a>.<p>Design to code will increase productivity and revolutionary bridging gap between designer and developer. I&#x27;m writing to you if you think there would be an opportunity to experiment my concept at your organization.<p>With design system builder concept in place, it can be integrated with a open source collaborative whiteboard project called excalidraw, which can also be used as a prototyping tool.<p>I add features to it as I get ideas, last year I applied to YC just like that, but didnt get selected.

5 times, (first was a late app) have done $200K in revenue since march 2022. I am older (35) and a technical founder, so this time I really focused on just the business mechanics and Ive been REALLY slow in building the product side of it (we&#x27;re doing it pretty much manually right now) never heard back. I feel like its almost a ritual to just apply now and show the progress (which has been pretty fun - the first time I applied we made our first $5K and it was just me and my first employee) - now we&#x27;re like 11 people and have done 200K.<p>I do want to get in, dont get me wrong, it would accelerate the idea like crazy and I genuinely think I am the perfect founder for what YC was built for, but at the same time its kind of funny that Im OK with not getting in
