The digest has been collecting fresh articles on interface design, as well as tools, patterns, cases, and historical stories since 2009. I carefully filter a large stream of subscriptions so that you can upgrade your professional skills and better solve work tasks. Previous issues: April 2010-February 2018 .

Among the latest articles on design systems, the positive trend is that they finally stopped endlessly rewriting the fundamentals of the Atomic Design book and finally they started publishing about the most complex and important thing - their management and implementation. Here is a bunch of these:
Nathan Curtis describes approaches to combining different design systems that could develop in a company in parallel. This often happens if the organization has many products of varying degrees of maturity, and their teams are not interconnected.
Ken Skistimas from GE is trying on classic brand approaches to unify product design for modern design systems. How much should they give freedom to designers?
Dominic Nguyen describes an example architecture of the testing process and rolling out product updates to the design system.
Dani Nordin uses the John Kotter change model for the design implementation phases. The details of the process are quite trivial, but the way of organizing thoughts is good.
It remains only to unlearn how to call the UI Kit design system in Sketch and the market will become mature.
A series of Nathan Curtis articles on how to describe components in design systems. It turns out an exhaustive guide that works both as an instruction for beginners and a good checklist for those who already have a design system.
Examples of implementation of design systems
Google renamed its smartwatch OS from Android Wear to Wear OS. One of the main reasons is that a third of users connect them to the iPhone.
Creating maps and diagrams for interfaces has always been a problem - either you need a separate tool that is niche and not always convenient. Or you have to do them with your hands where layouts are usually drawn, and this is not much better. It seems that the situation is starting to improve - Flowmapp and Wireflow appeared last year. And judging by what happened with the tools for creating layouts, animations and interactive prototypes, wait for a big splash. Waited:
Another tool for working together on charts and other ways to describe the logic of the interface. How his toolbar was created .
The tool allows you to create transition maps for the interface. You can queue for a beta version. Announcement and story about how it works .
Semantic Studios has released Peter Morville's new book , Planning for Everything - The Design of Paths and Goals . UXmatters publishes Chapter 2 of it.
Towards the end of last week, Figma noisily announced an open API that makes it a platform, not just a tool. The result is an orthogonal response to the plug-in system in Sketch and any other desktop tool.
If the transition from Photoshop to Sketch gave a tremendous increase in speed and comfort, then replacing Sketch with another modern tool is not so clear for a large team (unless your main goal is to be at the peak of trends at all costs). Of course, there are pluses - for example, designers on Windows (which, if that, an order of magnitude more) have a choice. But there are not so many of them to give up everything and again spend six months or a year on the restructuring of processes, templates, etc.
One of the main tasks that product design teams solve is how to improve the quality of design “alive” without constant wars with jambs of implementation. There is a “silver bullet” - a design system with components at the technological level. But here too is the crutch - the design templates and components in the code live in different worlds, they need to be updated in parallel and by hands. Airbnb and several other enthusiasts showed last year how you can export components to Sketch templates , but it's still a crutch that requires a bunch of scripts and services to be configured.
Figma has a different story - she already works on the web, the native environment of component design systems. Although the “components” in the tool are far from what is meant by technological frameworks like React, the link between them through the API looks much simpler. The Figma team has already tried exporting layouts to React , and the ubiquitous Airbnb once managed to fasten their design system . There are other attempts to bundle a live product and Figma , GitHub have learned to issue icons in the product .
So far, these are all early experiments that do not guarantee anything, and I rather paint my wet fantasies about the future, which will not necessarily happen. Moreover, a lot of problems have to be solved, including with normal variables - now they are not in any tool; uniform colors, fonts and indents on the conscience of the designer, you can’t export them either (although Design Systems Manager from InVision goes in the right direction and produces some variables in all possible formats). But if you heard about the concept of disruptive innovations, then with the announcement of the Figma platform it starts to look just like that.
If a year ago I considered Figma a fashionable, but optional cartoon (not many teams need to work on the layout at the same time), now I believe that in a year you can think about moving.
Screens can be assembled into interactive prototypes, which is now the absolute standard on the market - InVision wrapping for entering the layout tools on the territory, which will greatly undermine the need for it ( Alexander Handley noticed this quite well ).
This has already been supported by Zeplin and Sympli , but so far at the most basic level.
After quietly fixing bugs between 2017 and 2018, everyone was waiting in which direction Sketch would move and this is a very strong application.
Now you can also store libraries in the official cloud, a full-fledged template for iOS has been added, and the search and replacement of colors has become more powerful .

It is extremely difficult for one person to combine them, therefore, he analyzes typical problems in attempts to do this all the same.
