The Knapsack team totally has their finger on the pulse where design systems are going. This is a super exciting launch. I can't wait to see where this product takes us
Handy product for sure! What would you say makes you different than figma? I saw your comment about what sets us apart, but doesn't figma also do all of those things?
@britt_joiner Great question! The big difference between Knapsack and Figma is that a design system managed within Knapsack is tightly woven into the actual products it supports. What this means is that the components in our docs are the exact same ones users see in production, so everything stays consistent and accurate. Design tokens documented and managed in Knapsack generate the web and mobile styling used in production apps. Changes made in production systems are automatically reflected in Knapsack, and vice versa. It's all done through a flexible Git architecture and tailored CI/CD workflows tailored for each enterprise team. Figma is also helpful, but it's more abstract and further removed from the end user experience. Figma is good for giving production teams some direction and input, but it doesn't offer the same level of integration as Knapsack.
Changing the way people think about building digital product! Getting value from a design system takes more than tokens, components and docs; it takes a platform and workflows that all everyone to capture, reuse, and iterate on things they’ve already built. By integrating with production code and engineering workflows, we can finally bring together full product teams around the experiences users will see - all throughout the production process. Cut out rework and disconnects and ship better products faster using Knapsack.
🎉 Really excited to see this team building the next generation of tooling for building digital products. 🎉
🙏I appreciate everyone's support in the design systems community and the support of our customers. Together we're making life easier for creative folks looking to build together using patterns!
Hello Product Hunt community!
As an engineer with over a decade of experience building for top companies and organizations, I'm thrilled to introduce Knapsack, a tool we always dreamed of existing.
At Knapsack, we believe that a design system should be a central source of truth, not just a single one. That's why we've combined an incredible engineering experience with robust cloud authoring capabilities, making it easy for designers, project managers, and all other non-technical contributors to collaborate seamlessly.
We know that a true design system requires democratization and equal contributions from engineering, design, and product management. With Knapsack, we've created a platform that empowers all stakeholders to contribute and collaborate, making it a true design system for the modern era.
Today, we're excited to share Knapsack with the Product Hunt community and showcase how it can streamline and optimize your design workflow. Join us in revolutionizing the way design systems are built and managed.
Love what you're doing for the Design System space! Knapsack is a great platform to build out your Design System, while also getting everybody, from Designers / Developers to PMs and stakeholders at large, at the same table! Also had the opportunity to do some exploratory work with them, and they're a lovely, dedicated bunch!
... and be sure to also check out the Design Systems Podcast sponsored by them if you want to learn more about Design Systems in general!
We're super excited to introduce Knapsack, our innovative design system platform! Check it out at https://www.knapsack.cloud/ and join us in revolutionizing design collaboration.
Knapsack streamlines design-to-dev handoff and boosts consistency across your projects. It's time to unlock your team's potential and create amazing user experiences together!
But don't just take our word for it - give it a spin and experience the magic yourself! We'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions for improvement. Let's create a future where design systems empower teams to build better products together!
Happy Knapsacking! 🎒
I've worked with many design system toolkits over the last several years and Knapsack has to be the most innovative platform I've had the chance to work with. From designers to product managers to developers, everyone has the abillity to help update and manage your brands documentation right in the GUI.
I'm really excited that we are launching on Product Hunt today to give more people a chance to see what we can do. Thanks for coming by!
As someone who's always worked at the place where designs get translated into the medium they are destined for, it gives me great satisfaction to be creating a tool that can help all of those struggling with that same challenge – Knapsack is a best-in-class tool for the makers & creators of the web.
It's awesome to work with such a great team on solving a very important challenge almost every company faces! Looking forward to continue solving design system workflow and infrastructure opportunities for the top digital product organizations across the globe.
A great product, even better people that support it! We are changing the way organizations create digital products. Come chat with me about your design system goals. We've got the experience and knowledge to help you get there!
Knapsack is the future of enterprise design systems. The platform works to improve efficiency between designers and developers saving organizations time and money. The ROI speaks for itself!
Design is equal parts creativity, structure, and utilization. We built Knapsack to help teams manage all three aspects of design systems within their organization. I'm very proud to have helped build a tool that teams of all sizes can use today to revolutionize how they build and share their code and documentation.
I got the chance to play around with Knapsack recently - the product is really good! A big green tick for me was the collaboration between designers and developers. You know how sometimes those two groups can get a bit tangled up and slow things down? I found that Knapsack streamlined this process drastically. I'm curious to see where this product launch takes them :)
This product is the output of deeply knowledgeable and dedicated folks I was lucky enough to work with in a past life. They have taken years of experience in the delivery space and with design systems and distilled all of that into this company and product! Go folks!!
