Ruby on Rails: View Components and Storybook and Tailwind, Match Made in Heaven?
Wow that's awesome, I knew GDS had a design system but didn't realise it was written in Ruby.
Quick link for others: https://github.com/DFE-Digital/govuk-components
I'm going to take a look through the repo as I'm sure there's some patterns you've found given you're at a much bigger scale. Any hot tips?

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I build and maintain some libraries that are used by teams working on GOV.UK projects in Rails. Have been inundated with offers since their release, and they've gone on to be used in some fairly high profile things.

USWDS: The United States Web Design System
This is my side project, I'm a dev currently contracting at DfE. This library and the form builder[0] make working with the design system easier for Rails devs.

If you dig around on GitHub you'll see most government departments have an organisation where they publish stuff. For example, here's the MoJ, DfE, Cabinet Office.

Why is uncoupled documentation bad?
This is definitely the best approach in my opinion, providing the people writing the docs are capable of contributing directly.
One of my projects[0] builds and deploys a static documentation site[1] on every push to master. The static site generator (Nanoc, in this case) then pulls in the library and uses it to publish its own documentation. All the examples are snippets of code[2] that are both displayed as-is and eval'd into the final output.
The guide can never be out of sync with the library.
