Design Systems

I have been busy working on Design Systems since I started working on Baklava, open-source design system that we developed at Trendyol. Working on an open-source design system in an enterprise company has many challenges. And checking good examples is one of the best opportunities you would have. I left Trendyol a while ago but still very interested in with design systems.

In this post I wanted to collect a list of handpicked design systems. I'll update this post with new discoveries in the future. So keep refreshing 😊
