Many programming languages use packages to build and scale websites, software, and other digital products. These packages allow engineers to extend a project’s functionality without writing and maintaining additional code. This article will explain these terms from a designer’s perspective, so you get a basic understanding of how packages work and why engineers use them.
A UX engineer’s (UXE) toolkit includes design and engineering tools. They are engineers first, so most tools apply to development, but they also use a fair share of design tools. Working between product design and development means that UX engineer tools must allow for collaboration between both disciplines. They must also work with DesignOps and

What Is Design Iteration? Design iteration is the repeatable process of improving a product (or part of a product) in relatively short but regular bursts, otherwise known as ‘design iterations’. These design iterations can consist of high-fidelity prototypes, mid-fidelity wireframes, low-fidelity sketches, or even simple diagrams such as sitemaps. Design iteration drives the overall design

Key Takeaways Feedback loops have three stages, that is action, effect, and feedback. They are used to understand users, validate design ideas, build information architecture, as well as improve usability. Feedback loops solve problems and answer questions, but they can be either positive (increase an input action) or negative (decrease an input action). Understanding feedback

Like any digital product, launching a design system is just the first step. The next step is about supporting, evolving, and scaling your design system as it matures with your product(s) and technology. The design system team must also gather user feedback for system improvements, bug fixes, and new components. There are no right or

Understanding the difference between ReactJS vs. React Native helps designers communicate with engineers better, avoid costly technical issues, and minimize friction during design handoffs. Designers don’t have to learn code or get into the technical details of Javascript or React to understand the fundamental differences between the two. The most significant difference that concerns designers
