Not only was styling baked into HTML at some point, it's important that it's no longer baked into it, mainly for accessibility reasons. @hdv outlines some of those reasons here: hidde.blog/why-its-good-f… Not everything is just about DX. Separation of concerns benefits UX too.#a11y

If HTML was invented today, styling would be baked in. The idea of an external language just for styling would seem stupid.



What tech do you use to support your mobile design system? If “something else”, let me know in the comments! Also curious about why you chose your option

Imagine creating a design system for the entire web Think about the challenges with scaling, deprecation strategy, maintenance, adoption, and more🧐 It’s often said that the web moves slowly but I’m impressed by the OG

The best way to advocate for web components is to build great things with them. Actions speak louder than words. #useThePlatform


He speaks the truth

If you're building a multi-platform development solution, you *have* to preference the web - it's the most sensitive to code size, a11y, and perf. If you don't optimize for the web you're going to force multi-MB bundles and OS opaque canvases on users who can handle it the least



“We’ve helped organizations build design systems in a multitude of technologies over the years, but as time goes by we now heartily recommend one specific technology to build a core design system for the web: Web Components.” - Brad Frost bradfrost.com/blog/post/the-…

This actually happened to Evernote. They took the advice of “keep talking to your customers and ship whatever they want” as the only guiding principle for product development. And what ended up happening was paying users liked it, but the product become unintuitive and feature…

Someone used CGI to add juggling balls to the ball less juggling scene from The Office. This might be the best video on the internet


Excited to share this great conversation I had with Alex Smith on the Design Leader Insights podcast, where we take a quick dive into design system strategy and elements for successful implementation. Check It out! youtu.be/1n1kpxoZvxM
