Component-driven prototyping is the next iteration of user experience design. Designers no longer design from scratch, and engineers write less code. The result? Better cross-functional collaboration, faster time-to-market, superior consistency, fewer errors, better testing, meaningful stakeholder feedback, and smoother design handoffs. Sound too good to be true? All of these benefits are possible and more

Designers and engineers must understand each other’s challenges and work together to solve them. Designers want the entire product development team to understand user experience and design thinking, while engineers need team members to help fight front-end debt. This article explores front-end debt, common solutions to the problem, and how design teams can assist engineers

Improve the speed and consistency of your design process with the new Merge feature – Patterns, which makes building and reusing new components or their variants a breeze. Experiment with new UI elements while staying in line with what’s feasible, expand your design system, or save time on setting the same properties over and over

TeamPassword, a simple-to-use password management tool that has started using UXPin Merge to design with code components. Looking at the leading design systems, you may get an impression that they’re reserved for big brands that have time and resources to build one. Not at all! Today’s solutions allow teams of any size to create, maintain, and support a design system.

Understanding the difference between ReactJS vs. React Native helps designers communicate with engineers better, avoid costly technical issues, and minimize friction during design handoffs. Designers don’t have to learn code or get into the technical details of Javascript or React to understand the fundamental differences between the two. The most significant difference that concerns designers

Enterprise UI design is complex, challenging, and exciting. The scale of enterprise software projects and tough competition means organizations must optimize design workflows to minimize costs and be quick to market. This article explores enterprise UI design, the challenges teams face, how to structure an enterprise team, the importance of a design system, and 5

It feels like a new low-code, no-code application emerges every month. Organizations use no-code, low-code builders rather than allocating valuable resources to develop a simple app or API. These platforms also offer solopreneurs and cash-strapped startups an opportunity to validate an idea or build a minimum viable product (MVP) to pitch for investment. As a

Modern websites and apps rely on front-end frameworks to develop, maintain, and scale user interfaces. React’s Javascript library is arguably the most popular front-end framework with many component libraries to build digital products. We’re going to explore the top React libraries and how to choose the right one for your next project. With UXPin Merge,

MUI is one of the top React component libraries that help front-end developers and designers create consistent user interfaces for their products. It contains a collection of ready-made building blocks that significantly speeds up prototyping. If you want to take the MUI for a test ride, you can try MUI Core 5 with UXPin Merge.

Material Design is a comprehensive design library that both designers and developers can build mobile apps, websites, web applications, and other digital products. The documentation is excellent, with lots of information that’ll benefit even the most experienced of designers. Google’s Material Design UI is one of the most popular and widely used design libraries in

Developing a design workflow that supports designers, developers, and the end-user is a challenge every organization must overcome. With the progression of DesignOps, design workflows have improved significantly, but there are still many challenges designers and engineers battle to get from concept to handoff. Unfortunately, with popular image-based tools, it’s impossible to overcome some of

Our Merge technology allows you to copy the ready JSX code of your UI code component. However, sometimes it’s hard to find the exact documentation for each component. See how you can do it quickly. Design with React, Storybook or npm components that your devs build apps with in UXPin’s editor. Create prototypes that can quickly

In recent times, there has been an increased focus on having a pixel-perfect UI that is not only visually stunning but also fulfills the requirements of the user effectively. This renewed focus on UI has resulted in a massive growth in tools, frameworks, and environments that aid this movement. Storybook is one such tool that
