Paired with MCP servers, design systems become a productivity coefficient for AI-powered workflows, ensuring that AI agents produce output that’s relevant and on brand.

Adhere to WCAG by building an accessible component library, auto-detecting issues for web & mobile interfaces, and streamlining dev handoff. Prevent up to 40% of issues before development starts

On iOS, these are in the tertiary keyboard. You have to go to the keyboard with the numbers and common symbols then click the symbols button to see the angle brackets. Then you need to swap back to the main keyboard to type an element name, potentially move to the second keyboard for quotation marks if you want to add an attribute to your HTML element, and go back to…

We sent these questions to 913 design system nerds and received 57 responses. After reviewing the data, we saw a story forming…one of awkward spreadsheets, elegant code instrumentation, a bit of organizational fear, and, ultimately, some pretty cool opportunities.

Current AI interfaces lull us into thinking we’re talking to something that can make meaningful judgments about what’s valuable. We’re not — we’re using tools that are tremendously powerful but nonetheless can’t do “meaningmaking” work (the work of deciding what matters, what’s worth pursuing).

Like most things, the term started off with good intentions. A way to suggest fixes for things which are definitely accessibility barriers, but don’t technically fail the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), or whatever standard you’re auditing against.

If you’ve ever shipped a product or owned a software business, you know this: writing code isn’t the real bottleneck for business, of-course the teams could be faster, could have less technical debt and so on.

I write, to think. More than anything this essay is an attempt to think through a bunch of hard, highly speculative ideas about how AI might unfold in the next few years. A lot is being written about the impending arrival of superintelligence; what it means for alignment, containment, jobs, and so on. Those are all important topics.

Many teams believe that meeting WCAG standards means their digital products are compliant with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Using a clear comparison grounded in EN 301 549 and EN 17161, we extensively detail what’s in and out of scope—and why organizations need to operationalize accessibility like they do privacy and security.
