A #DesignSystem lives or dies by its adoption. Beyond crafting UI libraries, docs, etc., a key part of the work is advocacy. You need folks to be aware of your DS and want to use it.
For our Investec Design System (IDS), we decided to have a little fun and made a spoof informercial to promote IDS to our colleagues. It went down a treat!
Now you can enjoy it too! #SwitchToIDS
does anyone I know have experience with #UX #designsystem by https://www.kern-ux.de ?
Our #DesignSystem team is busy putting together a day of presentations and demos to promote our DS this Friday.
It's super hectic, but I'm so excited about the stuff we and our lovely consumers will be sharing. And you'd better believe we're going to drop a few surprise bombshells!
But first, I need to finish my slides and rehearse. 
design like it's 1997. code like it's 2025.

Google released a new version of its design system, a kind of extension kit, in alpha version: Material 3 Expressive, more energetic, positive and expressive.
Dear Devs/ Design Engineers of the Fediverse:
Did you establish a design system in creating your personal site? If yes, was it totally overengineering?
And why not?
Asking for a friend.

Finally succeeded in generating HTML documentation for a Swift Package containing several targets, with cross references.
Feature still experimental, customisation is still a chore, but it just works.

> Your design system is an idea. Every asset you build will require compromise of some kind. […] You have to think of your design system as a concept that is made tangible through the assets and tooling your org needs at a given moment in time. But those tools and frameworks come and go. Your design system needs to remain.

Had to tackle a couple of niche, tricky things for our #DesignSystem at work recently. Would like to blog about them and the solutions we found.
Help me prioritise. Which one(s) would you be most interested in?
