A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
Reshaped, a design system component library for React and Figma that was originally built as a closed-source project, has been released as open-source after five years of development. The creator, who has over a decade of experience in design systems, built Reshaped to cover 80% of common web design patterns while providing flexibility for custom requirements. The system is now available for both developers and designers.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledI built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma.
Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others.
I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices.
So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, while giving developers the flexibility to handle the last 20% with low-level utilities.
