DESIGN SYSTEM DILEMMAS: SIMILAR LOOKS, DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Design systems often face challenges when components like badges and pills look similar but serve different purposes, leading to confusion among designers and developers. To maintain a scalable and clear system, it's essential to document the specific use cases for each component, involve both design and engineering in review processes, and provide thorough education on component usage, drawing from resources like The Component Gallery for best practices.
