Hey hunters! 👋 A big thank you to for the hunt! 🙏 I’m a software engineer from Estonia, currently building a design system at Veriff. While kick-starting my first design system, most of the time I would reference other design systems for inspiration and direction, only to find varying implementations of a single user interface pattern. There was no centralized specification as to how a certain component should be implemented or behave, which would have made my life a lot easier by being aware of various pitfalls and intricacies. UI Playbook is an attempt to spec common UI components based on my learnings regarding the aforementioned things. It is not meant to be “just another UI kit”, but rather a guideline or recipe book for folks wanting to implement certain components. Everything in UI Playbook is related to my personal experience and findings, and I may be missing certain aspects — so I invite you to improve this, and hopefully, the next person tasked with building a design system will find this somewhat useful! If you'd like to dig into the source code or make improvements, feel free to use GitHub to do so: ✌️
This tool seems super useful for designers when considering different UI components and understanding their behavior. Love the simplicity of the interface and the microcopy ✌️
Maker
I'm happy to hear that this proves itself to be useful to not only developers, but also designers! Thanks for the kind words! ✌️
Design systems nowadays are a must to build a scalable product, and to have such a reference is amazing! I wish I had that years ago already :D great job and keep going!
Maker
Absolutely! I'm hoping that this will help others down the same road. Thanks! ✌️
Loved it
Maker
Thank you!
This is great! It's hard to find a comprehensive resource like this for UI.
Maker
Thank you, Angie!
Nice job, love it! I feel like products like this are the ones that make Product Hunt so special! How long have you worked on it?
Maker
Thanks! Building UI Playbook specifically took a month. Although, working on UI Playbook has been an on-going experience over the past years. A lot of my personal learnings and research has been put into this.
Good start. Would like to see many other elements like slicers, selection option when going for multiple select etc.
Maker
Totally! I do have a rough timeline for the upcoming components, but I'm open to additional suggestions or contributions via GitHub: Thanks! ✌️
Very competitive product
Maker
Appreciate the feedback!
What a great overview for both designers and developers! Will definitely use that as a guide when building new components from now on. Thanks for the documentation and I'll be keeping my eye on the updates 🙌 BTW, is there a way to follow along with the progress somehow?
Maker
I'm glad to hear that! I do share all of the updates and new components added via my Twitter: Alternatively, you can sign up for the newsletter on the website. It's at the bottom of the page. Thanks for the support! ✌️
This is interesting. What if you allowed others to upload their components?
Also... maybe it could have codepen area?
Maker
I'm definitely open to others contributing their knowledge into UI Playbook. The repository is open-source at GitHub, so feel free to check that out at Thanks! ✌️
Maker
Interesting idea! However, UI Playbook is mostly meant to be consumed as documentation. The low-level implementation details, API-s, and framework choices of components aren't that relevant. Thanks for your thoughts!
