Metatoy — a studio of one · design × engineering

Build the tool, ship the toy.

I work the seam between design and engineering — production tools, playful apps, and open source I build in the open.

Quick start · Sorb

Point an AI agent at your design tokens, or pull them into React — one line each.

bash — sorb quickstart
# let an AI agent read your design tokens — live, from the running bridge
$ npx -y @sorb/tap

# or pull tokens into React with the SDK
import { SorbProvider } from '@sorb/leaf'

What the studio makes

Design × Engineering
01 · tools

Tools

Production software for people who build software. Sorb carries design tokens from Figma into a running React app — no rebuild.

02 · toys

Toys

Playful iOS apps with real craft — an infinite crossword, place-anchored storytelling, an effects lab.

03 · open source

Open Source

The libraries and an MCP server under it all — MIT, on npm, free for anyone to build on.

Tool

Sorb

Beta · invite

A design-token bridge carrying a live design system from Figma into a running React app, with a read layer AI agents can query.

Why it matters: tokens change once, everywhere updates.

Toy

woords

Live

An infinite daily crossword whose board scales from a neighborhood to an alternate reality across five seasons. On the App Store.

Why it matters: a new spatial word game, not a clone.

TattleTown

Live

Anonymous, place-anchored storytelling — drop and discover stories by geo and QR. On the App Store.
