01 · Design System

A design system for commerce.

We had a month to get the design system up and running. What this involved was:

01
Setting up documentation
This was done via Storybook UI.
02
Buttons Buttons Buttons
This design system had the heaviest focus on button styles of any design system project we've seen. This was because Fast's entire platform was centered around the idea of a single click checkout. The more consistent and recognizable button styles were, the more trust users had in the platform.
02 · Internationalization

A platform to sell around the world.

Created the comprehensive frontend internationalization platform for Fast. This included:

01
Researching, evaluating, and implementing the best option for a one source of truth for translations

This was done via Lokalize. This was chosen because it's comprehensive integration options that included support for various frameworks and tools that the company was using.

02
Setting up the frontend Internationalization framework

This was done via react-i18n

03
Ensuring internationalization was part of the design review process.

This involved using Lokalize's Figma plugin to pull strings from Lokalize directly into the Figma design files

04
Setting up the process for translating backend messages

This was done by storing keys in the backend and then translating them via the frontend.
