      I recently rebuilt my spreadsheet that tracks our monthly outgoings. It calculates your emergency savings, and checks if your spending fits the 50/30/20 rule. Categories mirror Monzo's, so you can cross-reference against your actual spending.

Sounds useful? Clone it here:

      Engineers like consuming our design tokens as JS objects. Typeahead, and JSDoc notes are great for providing context and helping them choose the right tokens.

The problem is the tokens are in big objects, so tree shaking doesn't work well, and you end up with a significant performance hit.
