Open-source foundationsbehind PyColors.
PyColors is built as an ecosystem: UI system, tokens, starters, and developer tooling — designed to help you ship real SaaS faster with predictable foundations.
Open-source is the foundation layer of the PyColors open-core strategy. Premium products exist to accelerate execution, not to create lock-in.
Why open-source
Open-source is a trust layer, an adoption path, and the foundation of the PyColors open-core strategy.
See the foundations. No black boxes, no vague promises — predictable primitives and product surfaces you can inspect.
Clone, run, and evaluate quickly. Start with the open layer before deciding whether premium acceleration is worth it.
Production-shaped foundations reduce guesswork. You ship faster and keep consistency as the product grows.
Open-core strategy
The ecosystem is open-source first. Commercial layers exist to accelerate execution, not to blur ownership or licensing boundaries.
| Open-source (available now) | Premium acceleration (planned / evolving) |
|---|---|
PyColors UI + Tokens Stable primitives, semantic theming, and docs-first usage. | UI PRO Premium product patterns and higher-level SaaS surfaces. |
Starter Free A real SaaS surface with mocked data — built to validate UX fast. | Starter PRO Auth, billing, backend foundations, and deployment guidance. |
Developer tooling Shared linting and TypeScript configs to keep codebases aligned. | All-In Access The premium long-term path for builders who want the full ecosystem. |
The goal is simple: inspect the foundations openly, adopt progressively, and upgrade only when the next layer creates real leverage.
Public repositories are governed by their respective repository licenses. Premium products, commercial access, private releases, and brand assets remain subject to separate commercial terms.
Repositories
Public repos you can clone today. Each one maps to a clear role in the ecosystem.
UI, tokens, and tooling that power the ecosystem.
Documentation-first UI system built on semantic tokens and Radix primitives — optimized for real SaaS screens.
Semantic design tokens powering consistent theming across apps, templates, and starters.
Runnable entry points and the public website.
Frontend-only SaaS starter demo: auth UX, dashboards, CRUD patterns, settings, billing surfaces, and admin UI — mocked by design, ready to wire.
The marketing + docs site (Next.js + Fumadocs) — public mirror of the ecosystem website.
Recommended path
Start with open foundations, validate the starter surface, then move to premium access only when leverage matters.
Built in public. Shipping weekly.
