Atomic Design in Android

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Claims a working Android design system called DDS that reduces duplication by using Kotlin custom views, a DDS contract pattern and XML state-to-layout mapping; avoids heavy frameworks (mentions Facebook/Litho and Anko alternatives) and generates code templates and a sample app. Tooling includes Sketch Measure and Zeplin for discoverability. Addresses concrete problems: typography line-height and gravity, padding vs in-component spacing, separators and RecyclerView decorator, and warns about performance and nested-layout costs.
