Nesting Components in Figma
30.11.2018
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been building our UI Kit at Gusto, where I work, and this is a Figma document that contains all of our design patterns and components so that designers on our team can hop in, go shopping for a component that they need, and then get back to working on the problem...
Design Systems at GitHub
12.7.2018
Here’s a nifty post by Diana Mounter all about the design systems team at GitHub that details how the team was formed, the problems they've faced and how they've adapted along the way:
When I started working at GitHub in late 2015, I noticed that there were many undocumented patterns, I had...
WDRL — Edition 234: Design Patterns, Tech Values, Feature Policy and CSS Grid in IE11
6.7.2018
Hey,
This week Andrea Giammarchi excited me with his article about a bloatless web. In that article he describes how we blindly use Babel as developers when we write JavaScript to be able to write modern ECMAScript. But we usually don’t realize that transpiling all our modern code in modern...

Unicode Patterns
18.5.2018
These Unicode patterns by Yuan Chuan are extraordinarily clever. It's a <css-doodle> custom web component that sets up a CSS grid and randomizes what character to drop into a cell and things, like color.
See all their gorgeous work on CodePen and the very cool <css-doodle> website...

Grid to Flex
24.4.2018
Una Kravets shows how to make layouts in CSS Grid with flexbox fallbacks for browsers that don’t support those grid properties just yet. Una writes:
