Cover image for Master the Art of Building Consistent UI Design Systems
Nothing beats the satisfaction of building consistent components for a design system 🎨 Been slowly building this UI kit in my spare time (what spare time? lol) with hopes to complete it in 2025. Design systems are one of my biggest passions. There's something so satisfying about creating components that work seamlessly together and scale beautifully. What's your favorite part about building design systems?

Cover image for Design all the states, not
Design all the states, not just the happy path. When creating a design system, it's easy to focus only on the default state, but developers need much more. In the case of checkboxes like this component, devs require unchecked, indeterminate, and checked states, as well as focus states for keyboard navigation, and disabled states that meet contrast requirements. This isn't just extra work; it's essential for accessibility. Screen readers need accurate state communication, and keyboard users need visible focus. If you skip these steps, the devs may make incorrect assumptions, leading to inconsistencies. Investing a little bit of extra time in designing states can save hours of back-and-forth later. Your component isn't complete until every state is thoughtfully designed!
