The chase after a moving target
One of Drimz’s missions is to reduce the handoff between designers and engineers as much as possible. We are developing tools to build and normalize the language between designers and engineers. As a first step, we created a tool for designers to design code components without writing a single line of code or diving deep into CSS. We then looked into design tokens as the second step. By using a simple token management system, we will be able to manage and manipulate the UI and design by adding tokens to code components.
We are also trying to follow a standard that isn’t yet ready but is being built by a number of companies. While following a changing RFC is essential, it can also be frustrating. On the plus side, it keeps us focused. As a downside, a changing standard to follow causes frustrations. As an example, we saw a few weeks ago that a few companies started to build a product based on a new concept that was introduced but the day before we began building it, it was changed.
Maintaining up-to-date with the latest changes allows us to ensure that the product is up-to-date and meets high standards. Nevertheless, our engineering team is constantly searching for new changes so that technical debt will be as low as possible.
To ship the best product, we combine worldwide standards with deep tech research. Optimism also plays a role. In good news, we will be up-to-date, in bad news, we need to make last-minute changes. Last-minute changes are what drive our company’s culture, what help build teams, and what we like about a changing environment.
