UXD Systems Turns Design Systems into a Comparison Lab
An interactive reference for studying design systems, comparing components and patterns, and experimenting with tokens, accessibility, and interface decisions.
Field notes
The reference is structured as a connected curriculum: foundations lead to tokens, components, patterns, accessibility, and governance. Its comparison layer examines the same component under different system assumptions, while the visible Token Lab lets visitors remap color, radius, spacing, density, and theme across a product preview. The homepage lists 20 source-backed systems, with entries such as Apple HIG, Material 3, Carbon, Fluent 2, Polaris, and Primer.
