Resources about Front-end Architecture and Design Systems, etc.

I’ve been researching design systems lately, and this is an evolving list of the resources I’ve found particularly resonant for my purposes. Have anything to add?

Drawing of components in a pattern library

I’ve been researching design systems a bunch lately and am finding a need for a place to store my favorite resources – rather than continuing to copy and paste the same set of links, here’s a blog post of a few of my favorite resources around design systems, etc. , refactoring, and front-end architecture.

One thing to note about design systems: I think in many cases, and possibly for the purposes of what I am doing on at work, pattern or component library might be more accurate terms than design system. At this point, though, it seems like design system is used in a pretty general sense, so I’m not going to get too caught up in the semantics.

I hope to build out this list over time, and I welcome recommendations!

What did I miss?

Are there any articles about design systems, etc. and front-end architecture you’d found particularly helpful? I’ll continue to update this list, so please leave a comment or send me a Tweet with anything you think I should add!
