Many amazing companies are building design systems using Supernova, so we took the time to curate some public sites to highlight amazing makers from amazing companies. They are super inspiring, check them out! supernova.io/blog/top-design…

@aerlingus possibly the worst customer service I've ever. Bought a voucher, never received confirmation. I've spent 1.5 hours on the phone to you. No resolution. Not one aerlingus rep came back to me at any point, (my calls or emails). Last call, was told I just have to wait!!

Legit so excited to see the results of this. Supernova always does an incredible job with these polls.
Supernova is looking to understand how design tokens have evolved over the last few years, especially with the introduction of @figma variables.
Fill out the State of Design Tokens 2024 survey to share how you create, distribute, and govern tokens ⤵

After so many months of working on Supernova 2.0, everyone on the team is super tired - but we are all collectively beyond excited because design system teams are finally getting a platform that they deserve - high-tech, collaborative, and full of automation that helps everyone.
We just launched Supernova 2.0 in beta! 🎉
The entire product got a refresh, from the underlying architecture to the design language.
Supernova 2.0 is all about adaptability and efficiency. Plug Supernova into your current design and engineering workflows to create a design system that’s always available at your finger tips.

Love this❤️
Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Absolutely insane year in Supernova, not only with the growth we had (~40 people!) but also with the companies we landed (thank you!). It is amazing to see products that one has used for years now using ours. And - spoiler - the year 2024 will start with a bomb ;)

We have released The State of Components 2023 research that we've made in tandem with some pretty spectacular companies this year, go get it! Also, our design and growth team outdid themselves on this one, thank you team for you super hard work!
The State of Components 2023 report is now available for download!
We analyzed the responses from 100+ respondents to pull out trends and key takeaways about how designers and developers are using components.
Here's a sneak peek into some of the data:

It should just be all open. This data is our updates and belongs to the users not to Twitter. Twitter should have a different business model than trying to block the flows of our own data. If I chose to write this free for everyone it should be free to go wherever it should go including through APIs. cc @elonmusk
