Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A local-first design and order workspace for button makers working at shows, schools, markets, and studios.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

ButtonGenie combines a local design canvas with the paperwork of a physical button table: layered artwork, customer orders, print exports, and pickup numbers occupy one workflow. Designs can be saved as portable .bgdesign.json files, and the page says the Studio continues working offline after its first load. Its sizing research covers 151 supplier entries across 18 shape categories and 64 sources, while clearly labeling those records as research rather than machine validation.
