polaris VS uswds

We are delighted to announce that the interface of Ryviu account has been updated according to Shopify Polaris. Aligned with Shopify's top-tier standards for safety, performance, and functionality, these changes aim to simplify the process of importing and managing product reviews for your store.

Shopify Polaris: Shopify's Polaris Design System features a color module with primary, secondary, and functional colors, plus an extended palette for shades and tints. Similar to others, it underscores the role of color in conveying meaning, maintaining visual hierarchy, and ensuring accessibility.

I love the idea because community contributions in OS projects are always super focused on the code aspect while the design work is performed by the core team. Sometimes the results are shared publicly (Cals Design System or Shopify's Polaris)

Currently Im using templates, so my options are kind of limited by that. I cannot do fancy React or Vue apps (would love to tho). My main point of reference is the Polaris design system by Shopify (https://polaris.shopify.com). Simple but efficient.

Learn UX. There are a couple of publicly available design systems out there that give some guidelines about UX: Material Design, Polaris, Human Interface Guidelines.

Now and then I stumble upon the USWDS (the article mentions it) and am surprised how good that thing actually is.

I would like to note that there currently is no centralized Design System for the Dutch Government, unfortunately. All agencies are creating their own Design System based on the Rijkshuisstijl.

Currently I'm working on ROOS (https://rvo.nl/roos) which is the Design System for the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. This is build with the already mentioned NL Design System. My hope being that this will bring the different agencies together and start working on a centralized Design System for the Dutch Government and follow the excellent examples of https://design-system.service.gov.uk and https://designsystem.digital.gov/

I learnt a lot of Sass patterns from using the US Web Design System.

FYI I recommend following U.S. gov't standards: https://designsystem.digital.gov/documentation/developers/

Dark/light mode is fine and all, however be wary of accessibility. Note that the US actually even publishes it's own CSS/JS framework similar to bootstrap. I believe (but I am not positive) it is here: https://designsystem.digital.gov/

I don't claim it to be perfect, but the last time I had the opportunity to use it, it put other UI/UX frameworks to shame.
