A Global Design System

Screenshot of “A Global Design System”

This is a call to action to create a Global Design System that provides the world’s web designers & developers a library of common UI components. A Global Design System would improve the quality and accessibility of the world’s web experiences, save the world’s web designers and developers millions of hours, and make better use of our collective human potential.

There is probably a lot to learn from and share with the Design Tokens W3C Community Group.

All the work that has already been done to define a standard format for tokens shows that such collaboration is pretty easy to start (people want to work for the greater good), but it's hard to keep the pace and lead to actual results.
