Opinions please. What role does a design system play … and not play, when it comes to delivering on design quality … and for bonus points, do you think the consumers of your design system agree?

I know I'm bias, but I still love the sketch video done by @SketchGrp and @a11ybytes for GAAD. "We are all different, and we should respect those differences in ourselves and in others." youtube.com/watch?v=WL1GMBbz… #GAAD #a11y

Typing web.archive.org/save/ in front of any URL saves that content in the Wayback Machine forever. Nasty tweet? Type web.archive.org/save/ in front of the URL, and archive it forever. Hat tip: @t.

Just started reading Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design by @katholmes. Already some gems and I have only read the Foreward by @johnmaeda "there can be no simplicity unless we understand the complexities" #inclusivedesign
