Alors que les designs trompeurs sont de plus en plus portés à l’attention du public, la question de leur possible régulation se pose, bien qu’il ne soit pas simple de démontrer le caractère fondamentalement manipulateur d’un élément composant une interface.

The organization of space is key to every great design. Spatial systems, grids, and layouts provide rules that give your designs a consistent rhythm, constrain decision making, and help teams stay aligned. This foundational scaffolding is a requirement for all design systems. In this guide, we’ll walk through the basics of defining spatial base units, creating relationship rules with grids, and bringing it all together for modern UI layouts.

@adactio shares his insights on the current state of the web and web development and its complexity. Expectations of the web have changed : people expect the web to be terrible (especially on mobile). You can do more with less today, but we don’t always choose to do so. Fondamental stuff is not (aways) a technology. The goal of any good framework or library should be to make itself redundant. Our priority should always be what is going to make life easier for the user. The worse thing we can do is to assume things are inevitable (FB, Google), but that is just the way things have turned out. They can change. Let’s have the imagination of how things could be different. “I am afraid for the web. When I’m done with all this, and when I look around and all the people making websites look like me, then I think we will have failed.”
