Design Systems Topics Cheat Sheet | Bridge-The-Gap - design systems consulting and workshops Quick reference guide for design systems topics and concepts

Before summer, I made a design systems cheat sheet and it went pretty viral on LinkedIn. So now it's a web page!

Perfect if:
- You are looking for a design system job
- You are hiring design system people
- You just want to check DS topics

How's it? Suggestions?

Well, there might be a “maybe” in every single case. But altogether they look quite systematic :-( I used to blame accent. Also, I cannot help thinking about the message that the government repeats all the time: it’s about you, learn Finnish, take effort, than we will accept you.

Days since I was reminded that my Finnish is not good enough: 0.

If you are choosing an electro bike, the battery should be detachable. Well, not should, it MUST be detachable.

Ready to join Sherif, Irina, and me for a day of learning, collaboration, and fun? Feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions!

Here there is the workshop link once again: bridge-the-gap.dev/workshops/ha...

1. Work on a project with relevant challenges! Designers create token systems and themeable Figma components, developers build component libraries with React and Storybook.
2. Use a one-hour individual consultation within two months after the workshop to dive deeper into your specific questions.

It's been 3 years since our last workshop - our team has worked on many projects and gathered design system recipes to share with you. If you want to level up your design system, this workshop is for you! We'll help create and enhance the libraries using Figma, React, and Storybook.

There is “Finnish summer” here at south of Spain 😍

Today is bad LLM day. Tried to fix a bug with Cursor via ChatGPT and Claude. No luck. Tried Deepseek, that also failed. Finally googled a one-line solution at StackOverflow. Basically, that one-line was a configuration option. Meh!

With €X in savings, how would you split it between cash (in a bank) and investments? Options: all cash, all investments, 50/50, 6 months’ salary in cash + the rest invested, 12 months’ salary in cash + investments, 3 months’ salary in cash + the rest invested. Or your suggestion?

What does the title #DesignEngineer mean to you?

I'm putting together an article and I'd love to hear what your thoughts are, especially in relation to #DesignSystems. Boost for reach? 💜

Does anyone know the brand of these lamps?

Yep. Now ppl value handmade goods and are ready to pay for them much more. In the future, ppl will similarly value human-made content.

Look at this! The app generated this picture. My #designsystems dreams, brought to life by my app. Amazing!
Before my 30-minute journey from idea to app, I struggled with UI and settings. Thanks to my friend Nikita, now I'm an expert. Wow!

There was one obstacle though. Last time, I used Claude for social media illustrations. It was convenient with its preview feature. Switching to Cursor meant losing that. But guess what? With Cursor, you can build whatever app. In just 30 minutes, I created my own AI app for illustrations.

I tried Cursor for the 1st time and I am amazed! Subscribed to both ChatGPT and Claude, they helped a lot with coding. But Cursor offers access to their models within its own subscription. Planning to switch completely. 🧵

The text "come as you are" in all caps. It has a gold to deep pink left to right gradient fill and four plus three same gradient stroke but no fill shadows tiled above and below and distorted in a wave-like manner. The fine print at the bottom: "but fully clothed" ;) Dev Tools panel open on the right to show there's no text duplication whatsoever, not in the markup and not in pseudo-elements.

Come as you are¹ on @codepen.io codepen.io/thebabydino/...

No text duplication whatsoever, no text-shadow, no images save for #CSS gradients, no JS, just #SVG #filter magic.

Also an entry for this week's #CodePenChallenge.

My 2025 starts with sea view (and no ice on it!). Hope and wish you all that this day and the other days in this year we relax and enjoy life!

Emil wanted a Master V Tobot for xMas. We found it only on AliExpress, directly from the factory in China.
Joulupukki couldn't manage the delivery on time (no wonder!). But we have Russian Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) who brings presents under the *New Year* tree. He saves the day :-)

“Cappuccino por favor MUTTA no nata” 🤣

Pimeää vaan. On niin paljon, koska valtio ei tee mitään - kaikki rahat menivät sodalle. Ihmisillä ei ole tarvitsevaa varustusta. Ja kun muutama vuosi sitten tapahtui vastaava, mutta pienempi onnettomuus, se korjattiin vain kansainvälisten yhtiöiden avulla. Nyt, sodan vuoksi, niin ei tapahdu enää.

I tell Emil: “Your dad and I read a parenting book and realized we’re not raising you and Eva quite the right way. The book says children need to be put in frames.” * (= set the limits)
Emil: “Oh no! Not frames! They’re hot, those frames!”

Public transport here in Fuengirola is not so optimized to run around all the large stores. So, the Santa had kind of workout today!

In every travel, in all the countries, when drinking water - tap bottle - the only thought was "this isn't that". And when returning to Finland, the first thing to do was to drink from a tap, a couple of full glasses. Or three of them.
All until we bought this one. This is that!

Hahaha, 100%

It was just yesterday when I though how much I miss that things this winter in Spain!

I have dozens of ideas what to write about. But meh…

I have to remind myself that this is not real “we are trying to live in Spain” experience :-)
