UI Guideline was born out of our need to solve a problem that causes a real pain in the ass: Ineffective communication between the design and the development team. There is no common language between both worlds: designers say “Select list”, developers say “Dropdown list”. Designers say “Label”, developers say “Badge”. etc. etc. etc. Creating constant friction between teams, and not to mention when the teams have more than 5 members, it's a mess.
What is wrong in both teams reading the Motif style guide and then speaking a common language. I get it. Training is expensive /s
Note everyone programmer has the brain cells to do UI. Painfully seen that far too often...
Not*
Entirely true. That's the pain.
Interesting project. It would be cool if it was a sort of wikipedia for UI, where everyone could contribute.
