Design systems can be very confusing and complicated if you don’t fully understand the terminology associated with them. It’s important for designers and developers alike to be on the same page for the most effective communication efforts. For this reason, we have comprised some key terms along with associated applications and examples to provide a

Component-driven prototyping significantly improves user testing while providing stakeholders with realistic product design expectations. UXPin’s npm integration enables design teams to use open-source component libraries to design fully functioning, high-fidelity prototypes. Get on board the code-based design revolution with UXPin’s Merge technology and npm Integration. Discover more about component-driven prototyping that maximizes the use of

With UXPin’s npm Integration, designers can import npm component libraries to build fully functioning prototypes. These high-fidelity prototypes enable designers to test features, interactions, and functionality impossible to achieve with traditional vector-based design tools. What is UXPin’s npm Integration? Firstly, it’s important to understand UXPin Merge because our npm Integration is the latest iteration of

Component-driven prototyping is the next iteration of user experience design. Designers no longer design from scratch, and engineers write less code. The result? Better cross-functional collaboration, faster time-to-market, superior consistency, fewer errors, better testing, meaningful stakeholder feedback, and smoother design handoffs. Sound too good to be true? All of these benefits are possible and more

Designers and engineers must understand each other’s challenges and work together to solve them. Designers want the entire product development team to understand user experience and design thinking, while engineers need team members to help fight front-end debt. This article explores front-end debt, common solutions to the problem, and how design teams can assist engineers

Many digital products only exist on mobile, but they often adapt web component libraries for native mobile apps. According to a Clarity 2020 talk, “less than 10% of public design systems support platforms other than the web?” Unlike web-based design systems, mobile design systems must adapt to native operating systems and platform-specific UI patterns. What
