Patterns Day 2019 - Varya Stepanova
By this point my battery was on under 10% so I slacked a bit on the note taking. Varya gave a React talk that seemed to be useful for everyone, she explained how you can take tools originally made for React (such as Storybook) and pass through vanilla HTML/JS/CSS without any need to know React at all. It seemed quite a useful technique, as some of the examples just used markdown so would work for anyone.
Here are my (getting shorter through the day) notes:
Design system at Elisa
Library of css components, react, Ui kit in sketch, shared tools and processes, great design community, world class front end teams
Visual regression tests are recommended
Problem with custom solutions is it took a lot of time to support and maintain
Design system wider than just pattern library
Using gatsby to take changelog from github and pull into interactive site
Shows contributors per page from github
