First of all, amazing! I also love themeing (theming? themifying?) and I really like your concept and way of building it.
I use arc and really enjoy the boosts, in my opinion they did it well, also for a non-developer users, just point and click mechanism.
Now about themescura, can I implement it on my own site? Maybe modify it a bit? contribute on GitHub?
I use Wordpress a lot and I must say the this resembles Gutenberg and the block editor. specially the custom styles part. I would love to see something like Gutenberg but a user facing
Like, if I’m on a web site and don’t like the sharpness of buttons, let me please have some border radius.
Keep up the good work.

So glad that you like it @yglik !

I am not 100% clear on how to convert this into a library, in lieu I started with creating different systems/themes from scratch using the themescura's theming code to test out and refine the API experience. (eg: xypnox.com/ Code)

I would like to know a bit more about the current way wordpress themes it's websites. From what I can gather from its default themes, there are css variables, and so we can give themescura a try.

It would be immensely helpful if you could guide me towards resources on how to extend wordpress for customizable UI.

Also, you can email me @ xypnox gmail for a lengthier discussion.

PS: sorry for the delayed reply.

I hope I will have the time to clone the repo and fiddle with it a bit so I can put it up on my website.
How hard could it be to clone and implement it on another site?

Wordpress theme mechanism is relying heavily on css custom properties so I guess that if you kind of map themescura properties to Wordpress properties it should work ok.
And the best way is to just shove it to a plug-in so it can be installed on every wp site.

Don’t worry about the delay, if you can even call it delay.
I just now had some time to get my iPad and reply here.
