DESIGN SYSTEM: FROM SCRATCH OR FROM THE SHELF?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Whether you choose between custom-built or off-the-shelf UI component libraries for design systems should depend on project needs, frameworks, and resources. Off-the-shelf options save time and resources but may lack flexibility. Styled components enable quick prototyping, while unstyled components offer customization. A blend of libraries or custom solutions is often used to balance efficiency and design flexibility.
