Design systems are the foundation of consistent, scalable user interfaces. In this video, I walk through building one from scratch using Tailwind CSS.
Topics Covered
- Defining your design tokens (colors, spacing, typography)
- Building atomic components (buttons, inputs, badges)
- Composing complex components from atomic building blocks
- Creating a component documentation site
- Versioning and maintaining your design system
Why Tailwind?
Tailwind CSS provides the perfect foundation for a design system because it's utility-first, highly customizable, and encourages consistency through constraints. We'll leverage Tailwind's configuration system to define our design tokens and build components that are both flexible and consistent.
