Hi Reader, these are my design and frontend picks this week.

Why most design systems implode - We asked Brad Frost if design systems are still relevant in 2022. - Michael Chan / filed under Design System

A design system here, a design system there - Generally speaking, in practice, a design system is singular. In that, it’s created for one particular identity. This is a misnomer, as design goes beyond identity. - Egor Kloos / filed under Design System

Tools and resources

Figma shared libraries - Extend a design system with assets maintained by contributors. - Nathan Curtis / filed under Design System

System font stack - Webfonts were great when most computers only had a handful of good fonts pre-installed. - Tom MacWright / filed under Typography

Inspiration and creativity

On creativity - My modest guide to being more creative. - Jeff Zych / filed under Creativity

Last but not least

Re-evaluating technology - There's a lot of emphasis put on decision-making: making sure you're making the right decision; evaluating all the right factors before making a decision. But we rarely talk about revisiting decisions. - Jeremy Keith / filed under Technology
