Roadmap

What's planned for Zazz and its docs.

What's coming, what's in progress, and what shipped recently. Public so you can plan around it, propose changes, or call out what's missing.

Tooling

Theme builder

An interactive page for generating Zazz CSS from one or more brand colors. Replaces the current copy-from-Tints workflow: pick base colors, preview the full system in light and dark, copy the generated variables.css.

Until this ships, generate scales via Tints.dev (linked from the Colors reference) and paste the OKLCH output into your variables file.

CLI installer

npx zazz init drops the three CSS files into a project, configures Tailwind bridging when Tailwind is detected, sets up the file structure, and verifies imports. Removes the manual copy-paste step from every install path that isn't Webflow or Figma.

Documentation

Sections still to write, in the order they'll likely land:

  • Primitives. Atomic UI elements, styled-by-default through theme tokens. One page per primitive with anatomy, variants, and the tokens it consumes.
  • Components. Styled, composed UI patterns. Buttons, inputs, cards, modals, forms, navigation, content blocks.
  • Templates. Design presentation deck, brand guidelines, dynamically updated style guide.
  • Practices. Best practices across frameworks, AI-friendly workflows, customization, porting between tools, stakeholder handoff.

Future considerations

Smaller items being evaluated, not yet scheduled:

  • VSCode snippets for Zazz tokens and utility classes.
  • Figma plugin for two-way Variables sync between code and the kit.
  • Per-version Figma kits matched to release tags so a project can pin its design source to the same version as its CSS.
  • A pattern cookbook of common marketing and ecommerce layouts built from Zazz primitives.
  • Native dark-mode-aware brand presets (warm-neutral, cool-neutral, brutalist).

Recently shipped

  • Eight Foundations pages: Theme, Corporate, Grayscale, Typography, Spacing, Radius, Layout, Effects.
  • Five Quickstart paths: Plain CSS, Tailwind + shadcn, Webflow, Figma, and the stack selector.
  • Reference scaffolding with Colors, Padding, Margin, and Gap as the first template pages.
  • Swatch and PaletteHexInput components for live color tooling on the Colors reference.

How to influence this

Open an issue with what you'd build first, what you'd cut, or what's blocking your team. The order changes based on what gets used.
