BeeBlu is organised around a brand owner who maintains the source of truth and distributes useful views to internal and external consumers.
1. Create the workspace
Sign up with your work email, password, and company name. BeeBlu uses Supabase authentication, so you may need to confirm your email before continuing.
2. Complete onboarding
The onboarding flow establishes the first version of your design system. It covers brand colours, typography, shape, a base component-library direction, optional Figma setup, and a final component review.
You can revisit the setup later. Re-running onboarding resets design tokens, so review the warning carefully before confirming.
3. Know the main areas
- Dashboard: brand-kit status, recent activity, and shortcuts.
- Brand System: colours, typography, spacing, shape, icons, logos, patterns, accessibility, and exports.
- Users: internal workspace membership and roles.
- Portal Invites: external invitations scoped to marketing, developer, design, agency, or AI roles.
- Portal Analytics: recent views and exports by role.
- Settings: company profile, portal URL, default portal role, and Figma connection.
- Account: personal account, password, and display preferences.
4. Publish deliberately
Internal brand-kit data and public portal data are not the same thing. Review what is marked for portal display before sharing the portal URL or AI-context endpoint.
5. Invite the first consumer
Choose one real workflow, such as an agency needing approved assets or a developer needing tokens. Send a role-specific portal invite and verify that the view provides what that person needs.
Starting with one workflow makes gaps easier to identify than trying to publish every brand asset at once.
