Action items

DA to schedule meetings for components prioritization

 

Key takeaways

  1. Button should be used for actions & links used for links. Do not style links as buttons and buttons as links, we should restrict the freedom of content editors
  2. Let’s not reinvent the wheel - we can use already existing design systems as the inspiration/foundation for ours. We should find the best suitable ones and not reinvent the wheel.
