Yes, I too felt that way as I began to read, it was an immediate disappointment, kind of, that the UI wasn’t on full display, front and center.
I wouldn’t trust a framework that requires me to involve myself with JavaScript, nextJS, and React, also… but I am generally of the opinion that a framework pitching itself as a UI kit, must pretty much not be a plugin for a web browser…
I thought this was an unhinged parody of a design site, kinda surprised it's a real thing. Unfortunately the design isn't for me, things look off center and the overall "weight" of components feels off.
I tried to find pricing for it (the top "contact sales" is a no-starter; too much initial friction. Just tell me how much it costs?! At the footer is a pricing calculator... I asked for pricing for 10 top-level pages and 5 sub-level pages (they explain the difference)... came out to a whopping $16,500 (you're reading that right... SIXTEEN THOUSAND). No thanks.
I wouldn't trust a UI framework where all of the components are shown as images instead of instances of the actual UI framework...
I clicked on Dropdown, thinking it's one of the more complex things to implement. It doesn't even have a picture.

Agreed. I’ve spent considerable time on scale-based design, and 1.618 always feels too large of an interval.
There is a great research paper on the topic https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10792139/#:~:text=T...

this seems to be for custom design services. IANAL but the libraries and design language seems to be open source and free to use.

Indeed; if you look at the top nav this is a site that's an agency first and a design system second.
This design system really deserves its own site.
Interesting idea, but I haven't found a compelling reason that phi is inherently superior, aesthetically speaking. Seems more like a marketing spiel.
That said, it still looks good.
While the golden ratio thing is a bit of a gimmick, the components look gorgeous and really well laid out
