Fantastic documentation tool for component library development
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As UX Engineer I am responsible for maintaining and developing a component library as well as aiding other users in using the component library and contributing to it. The basis for the development of components is our Design System which is showcased in Zeroheight, so any work we do directly correlates to the information we get from Zeroheight. Zeroheight is filled with information by our Designers and not within my realm of work, however I am able to give feedback to our Designers from the viewpoint of a developer to improve Zeroheight and make it's contents more accessible for the contributors and UX Engineers that we have.
Pros
- showcasing components and other topics
- ease of seeing detailed information on components (colors, paddings, sizes etc.)
- ease of finding information
- possibility of going to previous versions of the design guideline
Cons
- when opening a component image (which opens a new page where the detailed information like paddings and colors are shown), the zoom can only be done by buttons, I'd prefer to be able to use my mouse scroll and for vertical / horizontal scrolling to do ctrl+scroll or ctrl+shift+scroll or something like that
Most Important Features
- communication between designer, developer and ux engineer
- documentation
- a single source of truth, so that no discrepancies or misunderstandings can occur
Return on Investment
- increased quality, as less misunderstandings or communication problems occur
- increased speed of development, as it is a single source of truth for us. The developer can rely on the information in Zeroheight being correct so that he doesn't have to iterate his code again and again.
