It seems like Slack built themselves a toolbox like Bootstrap or Material Design Lite or similar but for their own style guide.
I've been wanting to do the same type of thing for a while but I feel like the development workflow and tooling is somewhat lacking and it's kind of hard to get people on board. Everyone always wants something a little extra custom, or doesn't want to jump through the hoops putting their styling into the main repo instead of in their react app.
Does anyone have any suggestions for tooling to enable us to build something like this?
- potta_coffee 7y agoBootstrap has some JS but is mostly a library of CSS classes. They built themselves a library of React components that they can use to compose UI. I've built stuff like this using React and Vue, without any additional tooling. IMO it can be a great approach but only if there's' a cohesive agreement on the design within the company, IE it doesn't work that well when the stakeholders don't "stick with it".
