Trade Me's Tangram
As one of 7 CSS developers, and countless Angular devs, I helped build out patterns for Trade Me's design system: Tangram.
Responsibilities
- Angular component development and conceptualisation
- Feasibility studies and component prototyping
- Component cross-browser testing
- Component unit testing
Team-mates
- Trade Me's full-time Tangram Developers
- Trade Me's Product Design team
Observations and insights
- CSS's
pointer-events: none;is an anti-pattern. - Design systems should start with documentation first
- Creating accessible web properties is a top-to-bottom responsibility
- Working against the Principle of Least Power makes the resulting work fragile
