A curated list of design systems, pattern libraries, and more
- jwcrux 9y agoHow is this different than the more robust https://github.com/gztchan/awesome-design https://github.com/gztchan/awesome-design?
- alexpate 9y agoLove that resource! Intention for this one was to be a bit more focused on design systems/pattern libraries
- RickS 9y agoTheir resources are mostly around visual design and brand guides, OPs is much better curated in terms of live product component libraries. Huge, huge difference, IMO. Web companies need to start stepping their game up when it comes to component libraries as a foundational part of any style guide.
- supernumerary 9y agoNo storybooks tho...
- alexpate 9y agoGreat shout! Will add in a new category
- camiller 9y agoAt the rate things are going I'm going to need a curated list of curated lists...
- RickS 9y agoRelative to other lists of this type, this one is very good. Still a painfully young corner of the design world, unfortunately. For all of us out there building these: 1) Please make an effort to make them public. The community still needs strong examples of component libraries done right. 2) Don't stop at the button/input level. Modular/composable design system thinking should be extended way farther up the product ladder. In practice, this means things like sidebars, payment forms, common marketing widgets, etc. 3) For the love of god, put it all on one page! It's very tedious trying to click on every one of 400 sidebar links. Stuff falls through the cracks. It's much more productive to browse these libraries when you can begin at the beginning and scroll to the end. 4) The natural next steps beyond these libraries is storybook-style in-browser design. Releasing a sketch file with these is great, but the ideal future of these involves not having to use sketch at all unless you're planning changes to the underlying component (and not an instance of it) Please don't hesitate to PM (email in profile or @patrickmakes) if you ever want to chat about this stuff. Making these systems bigger, better, and more common is a huge focus for me right now.
- Zenbit_UX 9y agoI'd also like to add choosing libraries that support multiple frameworks or at least curating them by framework. Not everyone uses react...
