Chintz: tooling for technology agnostic design systems

Chintz: tooling for technology agnostic design systems

I've been developing a system called Chintz for working with technology-agnostic design systems and pattern libraries. The idea is that you should be able to create web components in a library, and that they can then be directly used in websites built in any language or framework.

Technology agnosticism

If you've been following the hotness then you'll know that everything is written in JSX these days so get over it, but if you've also been around a while you might have noticed that new hot things come and go. New things are often great improvements, but however great they are they tend to be usurped sooner or later by something even better.

Brad Frost's post Managing technology-agnostic design systems describes a systematic solution. The idea is to have a design tier of components, which are converted for each flavour of tech

Liam Maxwell

  • Gov must move silos -> platforms
  • Introduction of open standards and data
  • Coding in the open means sharing
  • Common standards means common tools
  • Outcome based teams
  • Change needs spend controls
  • Square of despair: procurement, security, legacy, capability
