Congratulations and thank you all for attending our workshop with Nathan Curtis ????

Here are some of the best practices for designing flexible and configurable components by Nathan Curtis ?? ? Carefully choose the properties and configurations for your components. ? Provide a closed set of options for configurable properties. ? Consider the visual impact of different property combinations. Some combinations of properties, like large buttons with medium text, could result in visually undesirable outcomes. Designers should ensure that different configurations work well together. ? Establish clear guidelines and conventions around component configuration. Clear practices help foster "trust" when dealing with compositions and configurations, ensuring consistency. ?Test various configurations to ensure desirable outcomes. Exploring different combinations of properties helps identify any issues or unintended effects. If you missed the workshop, don't worry we'll be back with another one! ?
