Interface Inventory #1

Great for UI designers and OSS products where lots of people have worked on UI development over many years and it's beginning to look inconsistent. This might be good if you've changed frameworks or created custom components in frameworks but not sure where and when!

A designer will go through every single part of the OFN OSS tool and screenshot all the individual components and categorise them. You can then clearly see how to 'harmonise' components and even begin to build a design system.
