Create a style guide #8

Open rgreinho opened 6 years ago

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

This application does not have a style guide whatsoever. It would be great to be able to propose colors, logos, icons, etc. in order to help the developers who have limited design knowledge to build something pretty.

An example of style guide I like is https://frontify.com/styleguide.

Some style guides I found pretty cool:

Not sure if this is a solved problem but are you familiar with fabricator?

@kcwoodfield I did not know about this project, But it looks exactly what we need! However, it has been archived, and it looks like it is abandoned :( Is there any active alternative?

kcwoodfield commented 6 years ago

@rgreinho you're probably right. I wonder if that is a recent thing. Anyhow, lets not use this then - it may create more headaches than we want.

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

@kcwoodfield This page seems to have very interesting tools to create style guides: https://github.com/davidhund/styleguide-generators

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

I really like this one: http://astrum.nodividestudio.com/pattern-library/#group-branding-component-icons

kcwoodfield commented 6 years ago

@rgreinho I really like that one.

If using react this is nice also: https://github.com/storybooks/storybook

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

@kcwoodfield It's definitely a nice tool, but it is to help people developing UI components, not creating a living styleguide.

rgreinho commented 6 years ago

@UX-Chris Since we merged #34 , can we close this issue? Or do you still need to work more on the styleguide?

UX-Chris commented 6 years ago

No, a lot of the style has changed so I'll update the style guide as get get things finished.
