1/ @storybookjs is the best way to build UI โ€” and we just made it better... Our new Addon automatically tells you the difference between your code and @figmadesign designs. It's like a spell-checker for UI devs and it's kinda magic ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Slightly biased here but couldn't agree with ya more ๐Ÿ˜‰
Replying to @winkerVSbecks
IMO it's going to be really hard for one tool to be the design system tool for designers, devs, copy writers, etc. Platforms that interoperate with existing tools offer a lot more value. That's why I love what @contrast_app is doing. Connect to stuff that folks love using already

What they said ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฅณ
Build your component in Storybook then connect it to the design in Figma. That keeps your Storybook in sync, automatically. Check out the Contrast addon by @bmaho2211 @_jonok ed.gr/c2fph

1/ Weekly Changelog: contrast.app/changelog Do the tokens in your codebase match what's in Figma? Well if not, we've got you covered ๐Ÿ˜‰ You can now add your tokens and view them while inspecting designs. Yes, even spacing :)

2/ We're psyched to share this with y'all. We know this will save you oodles and ๐Ÿฉ amounts of time. Since using, our devs haven't opened our "tokens-file" to double-check values since ๐Ÿ˜ป

Ever look at your color palette and cry? They look so pretty in your UI kit but when you go to add the placeholder textโ€Š -โ€Š it takes 10 minutes to find the right hue. It's like 50 shades of grey sans BDSM. This was my life until I came across Carbon by @ibmdesignโ€ฆ <thread>

1/ Because colors touch everything, they cause problems like wasted time and inconsistencies. To solve this, IBM created Carbon Themes. Themes is filled with amazing ideas, but I think the most innovative is how they name their colors. Simple but ground-breaking.
