- bennyp101 4y agoIt's actually a pretty cool thing to browse through - they have some good advice on how to make things accessible and not confuse users. Each pattern tends to have supporting research as to why things should be done like that.
- petepete 4y agoThe fun part is the design system backlog[0]. There is an absolute wealth of information in there, along with plenty of opinions for designers in various departments, feedback from rounds of user research, alternative approaches to common problems. I spend a lot of time in there. This thread on notification banners is an excellent example[1]. I think if this was started today they'd fit into GitHub's discussions better than issues, as that's what they're used for. Eventually, with enough support, these things might make it into the design system.
