Using Ember to build a universal design system
summary
Claims Ember Octane enables an HTML‑first design system that can be consumed by sites with no JS; proof of concept uses Field Guide (an Empress static doc system) to write components in Markdown/HTML, builds compiled CSS during a prepublishOnly npm step, publishes the package and serves the single CSS file via unpkg CDN, and drops that stylesheet into a plain HTML “tiny design system” site. Accessibility checks for AA/AAA are integrated and the workflow works end to end.
