Working "Code First" with Backlight

Very positive. There have been a few let-downs, but the team has worked earnestly to resolve the inefficiencies and communicates their resolution clearly. The crew has worked tirelessly to resolve questions in their Discord channel no matter what time of day or night I have requested assistance.

PROS

As an engineer, most design systems I found were focused towards designer, while I needed something that could be used and built without Figma files. Having a platform that caters to code, rather than design files, is exactly what I need.

CONS

Errors & stack traces can be difficult to debug. Some tasks are not fully documented. Have had multiple glitches that require refreshing the browser and losing work.

Reason for choosing Backlight

Being "code first" was a hard requirement and Backlight is seemingly one-of-kind in this space.

Amazing code editor for your all text editing needs and requirements.

PROS

It is easy to setup in our pc. It provides intuitive user-interface which attracts my attention for using this tool. It supports wide range of different languages. We can share the components easily. Also, it allows us to link the design provided by the designer at one place itself.

CONS

As of now theres nothing I dislike about this software, There support team takes care of minor bugs in the upcoming updates.
