A design system is a collection of documentation on principles and best practices, that helps guide a team to build digital products. They are often embodied in UI libraries and pattern libraries, but can extend to include guides on other areas such as 'Voice and Tone'.
Tags
- Components: Contains coded patterns and examples.
- Voice & Tone: Provides guidance on how language should be used.
- Designers Kit: Includes a Sketch/Photoshop/Figma/etc. file for designers.
- Source code: Publicly viewable source code
Notes
*Projects marked as open source may not always be open to use. Always check the license of these projects before using them.
Although 'design systems', 'ui libraries', and 'pattern libraries' are different things, they are often used interchangeably. This list contains all three.
