Paramanu
Design systems promise consistency and velocity, but most implementations force a hard choice: adopt a framework-coupled component library (Chakra, MUI, Radix) and accept the lock-in, or maintain raw CSS that drifts between projects. Teams running multiple frameworks — or migrating between them — end up duplicating component logic across bindings. Paramanu takes a different path: CSS-first components with a dual API (BEM class strings for any template engine or CDN, CSS Modules for bundler-based tree shaking), a three-tier token system for deep theming, and thin framework adapters that are generated rather than hand-written. The result is a design system where the styling layer is the source of truth, not the JavaScript framework.Published as 22 packages under the @paramanu/* npm scope, Paramanu targets WCAG 2.2 AA compliance as a core constraint — not an afterthought addon. Built-in themes (Material, Ant Design, Bootstrap, Light Modern, Dark Modern) demonstrate that the token architecture handles real-world brand mappings, not just color swaps.
