🤩 Design Systems, when functioning properly, allow for the tight integration of great design and elegantly executed code across many platforms. That's the promise at least. But it can be messy with too many tools unaligned with workflows across design and engineering teams.

❤️ We love Design Systems and have built the first Design-System-as-a-Service platform with complete support for tokens, components and a fully customizable documentation module.

Our platform is super flexible, smoothly working with your workflows right from the connection to your Figma file all the way through to the code in platforms such as React, Flutter, CSS and Android.

We have been busy these last 6 months and have launched a fully featured product, and started spreading the word at Into Design Systems conference and The Design Event of the Year "Remote Design Week" by DesignX

In just a few weeks 3,000 workspaces have been created on the Supernova platform.

🤗 Thanks for following us here on Facebook and please do share the word that our Design-System-as-a-Service platform is ready for action. Or if you would like you can start using Supernova for FREE now 👇

Design and code, together at last. Welcome the world’s first code-backed design system manager, Supernova.

Make 2021 the year of the handshake.

"A successful handshake between developers and designers is a fundamental key to successful, timely, and high-quality product delivery.

A successful handshake, unlike just a handoff, means a mutual process where designers, and other stakeholders, can be included in the development process itself. This is the holy grail for a product team’s building workflow."

Bridge the design and development handoff gap, to build products better together.

7 Core Principles of Conversational Design
⠀
Conversational design is a design tradition based on human conversation. Conversational design is what makes interface navigation easier, that’s why it is highly appreciated nowadays, when people don't have time to sit and learn new technologies but need to apply them right here.
⠀
So what are the core concepts of conversational design? UX Magazine suggests that designers have to remember the following seven things while working under conversational design interfaces:
⠀
1. Engage: Be responsive and poignant. Reply if not interrupting.
⠀
2. Recall: Be aware of context. Listen. Don't ask about things you already know.
⠀
3. Anticipate: Be predictive when possible.
⠀
4. Adapt: Conversation is organic, it flows, it has a rhythm. It's not mechanistic or rule based.
⠀
5. Reflect: Repeat important pieces of information to confirm user needs.
⠀
6. Pull: Use cues, directions, or instructions to steer the flow of the conversation.
⠀
7. Flow: If your service operates asynchronously, send users a simple message if no one is online. If your service is synchronous (powered by a bot/machine) don't bombard them when they send their first message.
⠀
Conversational design requires the complete understanding between a designer and a developer. That’s why code-backed design system managers are a must to create a user-friendly experience.
