It's a design system. You can read about it more here: https://uxdesign.cc/everything-you-need-to-know-about-design-systems-54b109851969 https://uxdesign.cc/everything-you-need-to-know-about-design... But basically it's a system how to design and develop applications (mostly mobile or frontend). It contains most of the time some visual foundation, standardized components, guidelines etc.

I think the point that parent was making is that it isn't at all clear what orbit is about. A "design system" is such an extremely vague term. Houses? Cupboards?

  "Design system" is a pretty well defined term in the world of UX. For example: https://uxdesign.cc/everything-you-need-to-know-about-design-systems-54b109851969 https://uxdesign.cc/everything-you-need-to-know-about-design...

    “Design system” is pretty well defined in every field. And defined differently, which is the problem. I assure you engineering design is not the same thing. “UX design system” would have been better at least.

      It's clear it's a [D]esign system for [D]esigners when you go to the site and see things like Colors, Typography, Spacing, Tone, etc. It's fine if things are targeted! I don't expect all my technical documentation to fully namespace all their ambiguous terms in case a non-engineer shows up. This site is for [D]esigners and that's cool.

The problem is it's not clear about what the design system is for. After some digging I figured out it's for React. It shouldn't take that much time and effort just to figure out what it's even for. Why not just say 'open-source design system for React'? Why is it all so vague? Plus on the top of the page it says 'Open source design system for your next travel project.' What does that mean? I assumed it had something to do with traveling.
