How many of you are using it in your company?
In my experience a proper design system increases productivity
Thanks for the reply. May I know in what kind of projects you have used design system ? Or can you mention your company name so that I will get an idea
In mobile app the content of the app doesn’t matter. If the design system is well defined I can use those design token and it’s just plug and play for things like fonts, spacing, themes. It makes it easy to change the theme of the entire app by just modifying the files where colors are defined. Similarly it is easy to make modifications that reflect app wide
They are necessary to save time and keep things streamlined. It will only make your work easier.
Necessary? I don't think so, it depends upon the scope of the project right? I'm talking from a designer's perspective.... Sometimes building a DS is time consuming. For developers..yes it helps a lot
I agree with you! For small projects like landing pages and stuff it is not really necessary. I'm a designer too and when you start working on designing a product ( that you're gonna keep working on for a long time) it's really time saving right??
Yes.. they are bit overrated these days. This is coming who has built 3 Design systems for small, medium and working in big team.
Tho I have special niche in Design system. I don’t recommend much to early stage designers.
It more about managerial and governance skills, less about design skills.
Stick to core problem solving as much as you can. It def can be bonus advantage in resume but nothing concrete.
With new AI and automation, this will the first thing that will vanish from design.
I am currently consulting a startup which can a basic level DS in just few clicks with code 😂
Killing my own with my own hands 😂😂
Oh God 😂. Which company is that? Can u share the website link?
Figrrr
They are not overrated. They are good to have. It's the refusal of some devs to stick to it is what causes issues and gives them a bad name
Are u a developer or a designer?
Dev, now architect
In a small team trying to find PMF, where the product itself isn't stable, design systems is not necessary. But as you grow and become more complex, they become a necessity
Agreed to your first point.
For the second point, when you reach a level where multiple designers are trying to stretch the app with their own creativity, you need a common language for both design and development in order to scale better.
We built a very scalable design system for web and mobile app (Has B2B & B2C angle). But after a point I feel it's restricting the creativity especially for certain celebratory/sad events. Sure we can tweak the design system create varia...
In startup and mid-level companies, single designers often spend more time on developing design systems, exploring Figma's new features, and adapting to its yearly updates rather than focusing on essential tasks.
Off late, the frontend engineering at Razorpay has become more of a data entry job. The design system (god knows how many years it will take to be completely ready) is restricting both the devs and the designers a LOT. Designers are lite...
Ah this is why I hang around here. Thanks for the sauce
I’m a frontend developer, got an opportunity from another org, to work on their design system. Is that a good opportunity??
Cred is overly done and confusing now. It is like a nightmare for designers. What has been done on the app bro. Ek cheeze dhundhne me itna time lag raha
