Date pickers are some of the most familiar UI patterns in digital product design. UX designers use date pickers on websites, applications, games, enterprise software, operating systems, and more. Designers must understand how these date pickers will work across screen sizes, operating systems, devices, etc., to test the impact on the product’s aesthetics, functionality, and

Storybook Connect for Figma aims to link Storybook stories to Figma designs to streamline UI review and design handoff. Storybook Connect has its limitations. As you’ll learn in this article, UXPin Merge’s Storybook integration is a better alternative to Figma Storybook plugins. Key takeaways: Bring Storybook components into the design process with UXPin’s Merge technology.
Component-driven prototyping with UXPin Merge allows designers to build accurate replicas of the final product. Unlike other design tools that render static graphics, UXPin is powered by code so that designers can create high-fidelity, fully functioning prototypes. UXPin’s npm integration gives designers the freedom to import components and patterns from open-source design systems. They may

Our friend from PayPal, Anthony Hand, decided to share how to make designers’ lives easier using parsing props with UXPin Merge. Merge is UXPin’s revolutionary technology that helps you import and sync your dev’s UI components from the component library in the design tool. You can bring the components via Storybook integration or Git repository.
Understanding user interface design principles, user experience, and user-friendly design is a strategic advantage for engineers. They can anticipate potential issues and ensure they solve these to avoid debt, redesigns, and friction with design teams. This advantage means product development teams can ship high-quality products faster, with fewer errors, at lower costs. Key takeaways: UXPin

Atomic Design: once an obscure concept, it’s gained popularity in recent years. And it’s a hot interface design trend for good reason. When done correctly, Atomic Design allows design teams to deploy truly unique design systems. What’s more, these design systems offer unparalleled high-quality, consistent interfaces, which benefits end-users and developers alike. In this post,

Modern product and web development rely on frameworks, libraries, and dependencies to achieve desired results and outcomes. Understanding these frameworks’ capabilities and limitations can help designers collaborate better with engineers throughout the design process and, most importantly, during design handoffs. Bridge the gap between design and development with UXPin Merge. Design fully interactive prototypes using

There are so many Storybook tutorials that it’s difficult to know which is best for your needs. We’ve summarized the five best Storybook tutorials to help get you started with this component-driven development technology. Take UI components directly from Storybook, Git or through npm and drag n’ drop the coded components to create your layout

We’ve looked at how to make it easier for designers and developers to work together. But what roadblocks and workflows work against this collaboration? We’ve researched common mistakes design teams and product managers make when working with software engineers and how they can collaborate better. Reducing friction and roadblocks creates a smoother product development process

Component-driven prototyping is the next iteration of user experience design. Designers no longer design from scratch, and engineers write less code. The result? Better cross-functional collaboration, faster time-to-market, superior consistency, fewer errors, better testing, meaningful stakeholder feedback, and smoother design handoffs. Sound too good to be true? All of these benefits are possible and more

Designers and engineers must understand each other’s challenges and work together to solve them. Designers want the entire product development team to understand user experience and design thinking, while engineers need team members to help fight front-end debt. This article explores front-end debt, common solutions to the problem, and how design teams can assist engineers
