Design Systems with their focus on tokens, consistency & scalability are well-prepared for AI integration. 🛠️ 👨🏻‍🎨 Designers who have experience with #DesignSystems are more likely to leverage AI effectively to improve their work.

“Two minutes with a pencil on the back of an envelope lets us solve problems which we could not do in our heads if we tried for a hundred years. But at present we have no corresponding way of simplifying design problems for ourselves.” C.A.

Working on a GitHub bot to display token changes in a pretty way because I’m tired of having to read json like it’s the Matrix.

Pando has a really interesting approach here. No component libs. All in on tokens. BYOCL “…in a world full of Component libraries, we don't need another one. Let developers use the things they like. design.pluralsight.com/blog/…

Unofficially dub fridays as “documentation fridays” where we pick any piece of our docs and ask “how can I make this better” and then do it. A sentence, a page, a paragraph.

Ever needed fallback values added to your CSS custom properties automatically? @markacianfrani and I hit that use case, and wrote a handy PostCSS plugin for it. npmjs.com/package/@astrouxds…

Now when you use @AstroUXDS web components, you can opt out of using our stylesheet and let the fallback values style the components. This disables the ability for theme-switching, but if that's not something you need, you can now decrease your bundle size.

No two applications within your Design System are the same. Encourage variation, don’t prescribe it.

Component adoption is a meh metric. I saved 1 hour using your button. I lost 4 hours trying to add an icon to your input label text. Give me the language to build my thing in your design system. You don't have to build everything for me.
