atomic design

I'd like to cover three main areas of design systems: * Technical design principles for design system comprehension: atomic design, simple APIs, and as open source as you can make it * Passive knowledge sharing with good documentation, TypeScript, and a live demo site * Active knowledge sharing with pairings, code reviews, and technical talks As a talk driver, I'll start with some basic site designs and build up a design system for them through the talk. Roughly in order: 1. Primitives: colors, spacing, typography 2. Atom components: buttons, inputs, headings, text 3. Molecule components: form groups, dropdowns, lists 4. Organism components: header, footer, forms

Prerequisites

For designers: none For developers: rudimentary frontend experience
