Automated Design Linting: Your Design System's Spellchecker
Design linting is like a spellchecker for your UI, automatically flagging inconsistencies against your design system. It catches missing styles or wrong colors before handoff, ensuring consistency. The footgun: a 'clean' file isn't necessarily a good design.
Think of design linting as a spellchecker for your UI. It automatically scans design files to find deviations from your design system, just as a code linter checks for syntax errors. It's essential for catching missing styles, incorrect colors, or wrong spacing before developer handoff, saving hours of manual review. The footgun is assuming a clean lint report means the design is good; it enforces rules, not usability or good judgment.
