Design System: Yes or No?

How long does it take to create a design system? ⚫

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§ WHAT IS A DESIGN SYSTEM
An infrastructure organizations build so that every element in Figma is brought to life in one single way.
To streamline creating UIs on web, mobile or desktop.

❓WHY PEOPLE DO THAT
50% of developers time is spent making sure the UI is pixel perfect to what is created on Figma and that includes a lot of time spent in (not always very productive) chats between developers and designers.
Design systems try to address this issue.

β­• THE ANSWER
Estimates say between 100 and 200 hours.

😱

Polipo (https://www.polipo.io/) alone makes this issue (and the need to solve it) disappear.

Without generating code.
