The Best Loading States Are Not Loading States

Most loading states are symptoms of loading data too late. Apps should instead preload route data before navigation so users mostly see fully-rendered pages rather than partially-loaded ones.

How To Make Your Design System Ai-Ready

AI prototypes fail because of design system debt, such as undocumented decisions, hard-coded values, and AI guessing from mockups.
