Today @davidhoang asked me an interesting question re: the ADS Vision timeline, which I'm sharing to show how long it takes a vision to come to life.

👩💻 55 lines of config
✍️ 643 editable entries
👨🍳 1 gorgeous Admin UI
10 May 2024
These 55 lines of config is everything it took to add content editing for 643 MDX files.
I did not touch the MDX files at all. Just provided a schema that matches their data shape and location on the file system.
This is so dope 🔥

In our experience, most design systems need to be themeable in order to support a variety of digital experiences. A theming architecture can support:
- Multiple brands
- Sub-brands
- White-labeling
- Campaigns
- Redesigns
- Product families
- Dark mode

Good design is hard.
Here are my go-to spots online for design inspiration:
nicelydone.club → web apps
dark.design → dark mode websites
minimal.gallery → minimal websites
onepagelove.com → one page websites
saaslandingpage.com → saas landing pages
