Let's talk about design systems
summary
Claim: a team can ship fast by taking only the components needed rather than building a full system. Delivery hero uses Material UI to launch a data-heavy product of 14-15 pages, later migrating to armor when it covers missing parts. A third‑party modal gets customized third-party modal styling to preserve consistency. Documentation and component reuse cut repeated designer questions. Prioritization for new components uses three concrete signals: request count, which pages will use it, and whether those pages are user-facing or revenue-critical.
