Everyone in design systems needs to do this survey! It's been running years now and the trends are very helpful👇

zeroheight@zeroheight.com · 6d ago

The 2027 Design Systems Report survey is OPEN. 🚨 A lot can change in a year, so we need you to tell us where design systems are at right now.  Take the survey today and have your say in the 2027 report. Go, go go! https://report.zeroheight.com/2027

Delighted to be speaking at the 10th anniversary AbilityNet TechShare Pro. My talk covers how to leverage AI hype to make your documentation better for humans. Hope to see some of you nerds there! You can watch for free online if you register: www.techsharepro.com

In a design systems team, one thing we ALWAYS disagree on is components with conflicting purposes that shouldn't really exist. Excellent read from @annaecook.com

Anna E. Cook@annaecook.com · 2w ago

Just in time for Halloween, I wrote about Frankenstein's pattern for @zeroheight.com This is a design system component that gets stitched together from one interaction too many, giving it unclear affordances. I talk about how to spot them and fix them! 👻🎃 zeroheight.com/blog/franken...

Let’s go! #converge2026

This is such an uplifting newsletter containing so much goodness ❤️

@joshtumath.uk lovely to see you Josh! Here’s a pic of you before they turned off the light of a thousand suns 😎

The 11th edition of the @webaim.bsky.social Screen Reader User Survey is now live! This is a vital resource into better understanding how people who use screen readers actually operate your website or app. webaim.org/projects/scr... My commentary on it as a thread 🧵 #a11y

Yay! Love this conf ❤️

Social media occasionally presents me with a gem like this, making the terrible business of participating worthwhile.

Celebrating this good boys 10th birthday today 🎉 In good shape for a 3 legged septuagenarian.

This UK heatwave is making it difficult to uphold my goth values. Wearing shorts to the office and feel like I’m letting the sisterhood down 🐈‍⬛

bsky hail mary because any second not spent on linkedin is a second to be cherished: i’m booking work in for july/august and would very much like to work with nice people on nice things. if you have any reccs then pls let me know thanks love ya x

When I first moved to London, my biggest fear was being caught up in a terrorist incident. Now it's being taken out by a 14 year old on a Lime bike doing 25mph through a red light while looking at TikTok.

Heading home from @pixelpioneers.co with a full heart - props to @oliverlindberg.com for a fab lineup and vibes, also @heydonworks.com for unleashing HyperBlam with backing dancers 🖤 hyperblam.how

Documentation for HyperBlam. Make HTML make music.

Started out trying to make documentation easier for humans and AI to read. Months later, I'm having an existential crisis about filing cabinets: gerireid.com/blog/organis...

Your documentation is still in your Mum's filing cabinet

It's kind of wild that we're still organising knowledge like it's sitting in a 1970s filing cabinet. People and AI don't think in folders. They find information through search, context and connections...

Hey, @pixelpioneers.co is next week! There's a warmup event at the Just Eat office if anyone's around the night before👇

Ashley Watson-Nolan@ashn.uk · 5mo ago

Hi BlueSky pals 📣 Having just completed a fun project with the folks at Clearleft, I’m on the lookout for my next project. I’m open to part-time or full-time contracts outside IR35 and I can help you with: - design systems consultancy & management - content design - design systems documentation

Anybody in web dev/design looking for opportunities to get on stage and speak? We're looking for @webdevconf.com lightning speakers for October 9 in Bristol. 15 minutes on stage to strut your stuff! Reply or DM if you're interested!

It’s been a hot week for my snorty co-worker.

Somewhere a LinkedIn thought leader is silently furious they didn’t come up with this first.

Luke Murphy@lurkmoophy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

HAPPY BISCUIT DAY @scott.is! Celebrating the greatest video about UI vs UX ever created. Ten years and still going strong.

Happy World Goth Day! Seems a deeply impractical time of year to be stomping about London in black knee length Doc Martens like you’re off to a Victorian funeral: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_G...

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! #GAAD accessibility.day I’ll be at the London GAAD Foundation event later if any of you nerds are stopping by 👋

Excellent read. Most accessibility issues occur because product teams assume everyone uses the web the way they do.

Wouter de Bres@wdeb.bsky.social · 6mo ago

You might have called it experience. A lot of the time, it was just you designing for yourself in a room full of people who are nothing like you. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com/01-nobody-th...

Yay! I'm hiring two Senior Accessibility Specialists to join my team on GOV.UK One Login. You'll be working with great people, solving complex problems for tens of millions of users. Salary of £70,834 - £74,317 (London) / £63,240 - £66,610 (National). Please share!

A group of us ran Sara's course like a book club where we watched a section each week and regrouped to discuss. Highly recommend, I often refer back when working on components.

Sara Soueidan@sarasoueidan.com · 6mo ago

I just sent an email newsletter out 📬 announcing a soft-launch of this year's Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD promotion: For the next two weeks, the Practical Accessibility course is going on sale! 25% off ($299 instead of $399) 🎁 Sale ends on June 1st ⏳ practical-accessibility.today

Interesting read on the state of AI in design systems. I'm delighted that all the boring, structured, plain language documentation I've written is finally deemed useful.

zeroheight@zeroheight.com · 6mo ago

The State of AI in Design Systems Report is here! 🚀 67% of practitioners think AI is overhyped. 82% are using it anyway. Want to see what else we uncovered? Check out the full report → hubs.li/Q04grDL50
