Adele is an open source repository of design systems and pattern libraries

Why Adele?

No. Adele – the Design Systems Repository, is not named after Adele – the singer. This is a tribute to one of the most important computer scientists focused on graphic user interfaces, design patterns and object-oriented programming – Adele Goldberg. Adele Goldberg worked at XEROX PARC in the 70s and managed the System Concepts Laboratory where, together with Alan Kay and others, she developed Smalltalk-80 – an object-oriented, dynamically typed programming language that was meant to power "human-computer symbiosis".
