hey everyone, vansh here, founder of watermelon. we are incredibly excited to share what we have been building with the community today. the idea for watermelon started when we noticed a recurring, painful pattern: growing companies were burning nearly 70% of their development time just trying to implement design. the handoff between creative agencies and engineering teams was fundamentally broken, leading to inconsistent products and massive technical debt. we decided to build a vertically integrated design ecosystem that closes that loop. instead of just delivering static mockups, we provide the expert design services through watermelon studio and the actual production-ready open-source components through watermelon ui and native. we want to be the infrastructure that allows teams to scale without losing their design soul. today we are launching the full ecosystem, including watermelon showcase for high-fidelity inspiration and a sneak peek at xocket and watermelon mcp, which will bring ai-powered automation to the entire pipeline. the whole team is here today to answer your questions and hear your feedback. we are building this for the makers, the founders, and the engineers who want to ship faster and better. what part of the design-to-dev handoff is the biggest headache for you right now? can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Are the UI components built on top of an existing framework like Radix or Tailwind, or is this a fully custom design system? Really cool offering for startups that need polished design fast, kudos on the launch!
