DESIGN IN CODE, GET PRAISE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A designer working on a large government case-working system redesign demonstrated new flows to product managers using an HTML prototype built with the GOV.UK Prototype Kit instead of Figma. The interactive, browser-based prototype allowed stakeholders to experience the end-to-end user journey, including transitions, loading states, and error handling, which static design tools can't effectively demonstrate. Product managers praised the functional prototype for helping them better understand the designs and for providing clearer guidance to developers than traditional design presentations.
