Feature request: a "wizard" that would take you thru the process of creating your own design principles (maybe borrowing from companies that the user admires). Looks like that's where you might be headed on the "Create" page. Please let post again when that's available. Nice work!

Would like to see higher standards on what counts as a summary for each design principle. Many are too short to derive anything actionable without visiting the links provided. Thumbs up for providing links though!

Pros:

Solid resource to locate design principles of many different companies.

Cons:

It's basically a list of links with some light content added to summarize the principles.

This is great! I would love to see some more visuals and examples of the principles.

Nice work Ben! Invaluable to have a resource of design principles. One thought; as a design community how could we promote the importance of establishing a design manifesto for a product/company—throughout a company and team, i.e. key decision makers? Perhaps a deeper question, making it a key part of company culture?

Awesome resource to find the design principles of different companies. Thank you for sharing. Just saved it for my weekly.design upcoming issue.

This is a curation of top design principles on the web. I’m not a designer, so I have no idea where to even start on the site. Dope design 🚬🚬

This is great. Super slick design too. Between this and the exploding focus on design systems - there’s a lot of interesting stuff happening in the design side of products. Watching with excitement 😊🙌

This is great. I am a service/experience designer in Barcelona and each time I do a project, I feel like I have to reinvent the wheel or discover what many must have discovered before me. That costs time and money. Never thought about this before, but design principles might be the single best “format” to quickly share the context of an industry. Is there a way to get involved?

Both of the "Get it Buttons" say website on iOS app, but the second is pointing to twitter. Just a heads up. Great product!
