In development, waitlist open
DesignForge
Drop in a style guide image and get a brief, a full token set, styled pages and a starter app.
The three palettes are the briefs the real DesignForge model returned for its three sample style guides.

Two things on the bench
Both are real. Touch them.
Available, full source code
SaaS Starter
The part every SaaS rebuilds, already done: tenants, teams, billing, audit log, admin.
Recording of the real stack running locally with Keycloak, not a live demo. DesignForge runs on the same kit.

Short reels from the actual work, posted on Instagram and TikTok and kept here with a transcript.
Fig. 3 · How we build
Three rules, with receipts
01
Say what runs today
Every project page has two lists: what runs, and what does not exist yet. DesignForge cannot import a design system from a URL, so the site says so. Read the DesignForge ledger.
02
Show the real screen
The captures and clips here come from the running product, recorded locally. Sample content is labelled as sample. See the build log.
03
Build on a foundation that exists
DesignForge runs on the SaaS Starter, the same Angular, Spring Boot and Keycloak kit that is sold as full source code. See what is inside.

Short answers
What is HS Ventures?
HS Ventures is the one-founder product studio of Houssem Missaoui, a senior Java and Angular engineer. He builds software products, ships them under HS Ventures and shares the build in public on Instagram and TikTok. Its projects are DesignForge (in development), the SaaS Starter, web packs and LexFlowPraxis.
Who is behind HS Ventures?
Houssem Missaoui, a senior Java and Angular engineer, founded HS Ventures and runs it as a one-founder studio. He writes the code, makes the product decisions and posts the build on Instagram and TikTok. His personal and hiring site is houssemmissaoui.com, and it links here.
What is DesignForge?
DesignForge is a product in development that turns a style guide image into a real app. An AI vision model reads the image into a brief, every design token is computed from it, pages render on a live canvas, and you export CSS, a Tailwind theme or a starter app in Angular, React or Vue. The waitlist is open.
What is the SaaS Starter?
The SaaS Starter is a multi-tenant SaaS foundation with Angular, Spring Boot and Keycloak: teams and permissions, plans and billing, an audit log and an admin back office. It is sold with full source code for one payment, and DesignForge itself runs on it. It is a foundation, not a finished product.
Where can I follow the build?
On Instagram and TikTok at @hsventures_official, where the DesignForge and SaaS Starter reels are posted, and in the build log on this site, which keeps every reel with its transcript. The DesignForge waitlist is the way to hear first when it launches.
