Hey y’all, my search engine skills are failing me here. Is anyone out there doing design systems implementation work using microfrontends and module federation? I’m especially curious about the idea of sharing assets like design tokens this way (not just components). Appreciate any examples or takeaways you can share ! #css#designsystems#frontend#webpack#ux
The folks over at @stackblitz have invited me on their livestream to talk about how you can use StackBlitz to enrich your #DesignSystems with live, editable and forkable code previews. If you're interested you can save a spot using this link: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/stackblitz-zeroheight
Significant decline in developer participation: Only 12.7% of respondents were developers, down from 21.3% in the previous survey. Increased cross-functional collaboration is needed.
85.8% of design tokens are managed by designers, mostly within dedicated design system teams. Developers only own tokens in 9.9% of cases, showing a strong design-led governance trend.
Wrote my first article for #zeroheight! It's an interesting one as it's about a hidden feature within the product that people on the team didn't realise could be used in this way.
I realise this poll was somewhat controversial, I should've turned on the option to select both (cool that Mastodon does that!). Also not a surprise that most people selected ‘Developer' down to where I posted the poll and my audience.
@DavidDarnes@beep arrghh I've lost who posted it now, as lots of us have posted similar things - maybe @heydon - who asserted that those who can code, have ended up pushed into the developer side, and had the design part wrested out of their hands. Which sucks.
For my part, I think design systems have generally entrenched a lot of the old, bad divisions between design and engineering. Wrote this a few years back, but I think it generally holds up: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/the-design-systems-between-us/
If you tapped on either I’d love to chat! As part of my new role at zeroheight I’m looking to get in touch more with the #DesignSystems community and learn about people’s snagging points, especially around development and implementation 👂🏻
It makes absolutely no sense that #DesignSystems and #FrontendFrameworks like #TailwindCSS have decided to have darker colors be higher numbers, since computer screens are an additive color system where the more color you add the brighter things get.
Just wanted to let y’all know that in a couple of weeks I’ll be starting as Developer Advocate at zeroheight (https://zeroheight.com) to help people get more out of their #DesignSystems 😊
