Let your design evolve, adopt a Design System!
summary
Company migrates a decade‑old multi‑platform app to a reusable design system: a shared UI kit (style guide in Figma, components in Sketch/Zeplin earlier), an Android library in a separate repo with a playground app, and a RecyclerView‑based composition model using Lego bricks and a Lego adapter. MVVM code converts business models into testable data‑to‑brick transformers. Rollout takes ~2 years but enables fast RTL, rebrand and dark‑mode launches and aims for ~90% coverage soon.
