Design Hub

Architecture and governance for design systems that scale across teams and products.

Specs, tokens, and review loops that eliminate 'it looks different in code' drift.

Progressive fidelity stages, validation gates, and toolchain for design exploration.

Stories, MDX docs, and addon configuration for living component documentation.

Contribution models, change request workflows, and decision rights for a healthy design system.

Semver strategy, monorepo releases, and consumer upgrade paths for design system packages.

Strategies to migrate consumers, measure adoption, and sustain buy-in across an organization.

Quantifying impact: adoption rate, design-to-code time, bundle size, and accessibility coverage.

Layered docs: quick-start, component API, usage guidelines, and decision logs that stay in sync.

Token layering, brand asset pipelines, and runtime theme switching for multi-tenant products.

Compound components, render props, headless hooks, and polymorphic patterns for flexible UI libraries.

Token-based theming, flash prevention, and system preference detection for robust dark mode.

Timing curves, gesture feedback, and reduced-motion patterns for delightful yet accessible UI.

Accessible tablist with keyboard arrows, ARIA roles, and controlled vs uncontrolled modes.

Single vs multi-open accordions, animation height, and ARIA wiring for collapsible sections.

Recursive data, expand/collapse, multi-select, and ARIA tree roles for hierarchical navigation.

Windowing 10k+ rows by rendering only the visible slice, with stable keys and dynamic heights.

Pointer-based reordering with keyboard parity, drop indicators, and optimistic persistence.

ContentEditable pitfalls, document models, and why you should use ProseMirror/TipTap not contentEditable directly.

Embedding a code editor with language modes, linting, and lazy loading for bundle size.

Choosing chart types, encoding perception, and accessible data tables with visual summaries.

Practical guide to building accessible web interfaces that meet WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.

Disabling non-essential animation for users with vestibular sensitivity or preference.

Hitting 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI, testing with tools, and fixing common failures.

Constraining Tab cycle inside an overlay and restoring focus on close.

A 'Skip to main content' link as the first focusable element, for keyboard users to bypass nav.

Announcing async state changes (toasts, search results, form errors) to screen readers.

Token pipelines, naming conventions, and component composition strategies that scale across platforms.

Building 50-500-900 scales, semantic roles, and contrast-safe pairings from a single seed.

Modular type scales, line-height ratios, and responsive clamp() sizing for readable text everywhere.

A base-8 spacing scale that makes padding, margin, and gap decisions automatic and consistent.

Elevation scales and radius tokens that convey depth and hierarchy consistently.

Duration, easing, and spring tokens that make motion consistent, purposeful, and reduced-motion safe.

Persisting user theme choice, avoiding FOUC, and syncing with system preference.

Breakpoint strategy, fluid spacing, and container patterns for Tailwind-based design systems.

Component-driven responsiveness: adapt to the parent container, not the viewport.

Let children participate in the parent grid so columns line up across nested components.

Reserving space for media before it loads to eliminate layout shift (CLS).

Choosing the right position value for headers, tooltips, and overlays without layout surprises.

Tokenized z-index scale and stacking contexts to end the z-index arms race.

Showing the expected result immediately and reconciling when the server responds.

Reversible edits via a command stack — undo pops and reverses, redo re-applies.

Letting users save items for later with optimistic UI, persistence, and empty states.

Debounced query, keyboard nav, recent searches, and result grouping.

A keyboard-first search over all actions and pages — the power-user shortcut to everything.

Organizing preferences, instant vs save-on-apply, and the search-settings pattern.

Tokenized gradient stops and presets so gradients stay on-brand and consistent.

Blur, saturation, blend modes — and their performance and a11y costs.

Easing curves and durations that feel natural — and the tokens to keep them consistent.

Tracking and paying down the gap between the design system and what shipped.
