Adobe - React ARIA

As no one metioned it, here goes Adobe spectrum react

This was an intentional choice. Repositioning when an outer element scrolls is pretty janky in some cases because scroll events don’t fire at 60fps. Also it’s not possible at all in other cases, like if the trigger goes completely out of view. We used to close the popover in this case but this caused usability problems. The new behavior of preventing scroll actually matches native platforms like macOS and helps with these issues. I get that it’s a little opinionated but it was thoroughly considered, not just done out of laziness. More details in this answer: https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/discussions/3802#dis...

It’s not perfect though. The only reason I’m not using preact is that my front-end library of choice, react-aria, does not work 100% with preact, though it sounds like it might now be close (unsure).

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.
