It catalogues components across many public design systems, so you can compare how each one names, structures, and documents the same thing. Use it when designing a component to learn from prior art and standard anatomy. Especially handy for naming and scoping components in a new system.
What you will learn
- Component anatomy across design systems
- Naming and scoping components
How to study it
- Read it once, then state the single core claim in your own words without looking. If you cannot, you did not read it closely enough yet.
- Note one thing you will change in your own work because of it. An article that changes nothing was entertainment, not study.
- Revisit it once a week later; the second pass with a gap is where it sticks.
