💭 I've been wondering how to look at DesignOps through the perspective of how DevOps has become

We're starting to write a blog about a great thing my team are working on. An accessibility annotations library for Figma for the GOVUK design system. We'll be open-sourcing it, so let me know if you'd like to try it before we put it out into the wild. It's a brilliant piece of work!

If you wanna transform your ✨ Tokens Studio tokens without having to mingle with code yourself, try out github.com/marketplace/...

nektos/act - is saving me a ton of time by running github actions locally. @vscode.dev @github.com, if only this could run directly on the editor 😌

I've been wanting to shift my focus to #DesignSystems full time. That's the reason getds.pro became a thing. I'm looking for cool projects where I could use my experience and passion in bridging the gap between design and development by enhancing product teams with design system tooling and ops.

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images! Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:

Tired: @media (min-width: 500px) { } Wired: @media (width >= 500px) { } Even better when you need to double up like: @media (500px <= width <= 1000px) { } Took a minute but I got my brain to flip over to the new way. Also easier to avoid weird 1px gaps. Good article: cssence.com/2024/superio...

That’s why you gotta abide by the Pac-Man rule. Never form a full circle when having a conversation in a group; always leave a “mouth” open so new people can join. You’ll be amazed how well it works.

Experimenting with a design token editor for storybook 💅

"#DesignSystems is big company word" That's something I don't stand behind. I get the value of a design system as a solo developer. I feel like there's an hidden interest in keeping design systems and its ecosystem as complex and technical as possible, like a cool kids club. We need to do better

I've been building getds.pro – an open-source design system engine to help you create, maintain, and scale your design system. 🔄 Sync tokens with your codebase. 📦 Soon: tokens in NPM packages for easy adoption. The goal is to make design systems universal and accessible for all. Feedback is welcome!

44 #DesignSystems experts and counting!

I created a web accessibility and inclusion starter pack. Comment with your favourite accessibility folks, and I'll add them to the list. #a11y
