Backlight

What is Backlight?

Backlight is a comprehensive collaborative platform designed to streamline the development and management of design systems for front-end teams. This innovative solution aims to enhance productivity and ensure consistency across products by centralizing all the necessary components, from design tokens and component code to stories and documentation, in a single, integrated workspace

Highlights

• All-in-one Platform: Backlight provides a unified space to manage design tokens, component code and stories, documentation, and even publishing to NPM, eliminating the need to juggle multiple tools
• Agnostic Compatibility: The platform works seamlessly with any JavaScript framework and CSS modules, allowing teams to focus on product development rather than maintaining tools
• Real-time Collaboration: Backlight enables real-time previewing and collaborative work, fostering better communication and alignment between designers and developers
• Versioning and Publishing: The platform integrates with popular version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, allowing for efficient management of design system versioning and publishing to NPM.
