BRAID

Braid aims to make cross-brand UI development as fast as possible while maintaining a high level of quality and accessibility. In order to achieve this, Braid provides as a set of React components and CSS variable-based styling themes using vanilla-extract. As much as possible, we want Braid code to make sense to non-developers. We’re aggressively focused on the simplicity and composability of its API. Along with our work on Playroom, our goal is to empower designers and developers to iterate together in the same medium using the same components, reducing the need for high fidelity mock-ups before development starts. We want to allow you to spend less time polishing mock-ups and more time polishing the product. First, we recommend reading the design workflow and development workflow guides. These capture our current views on how best to make use of Braid in your daily work.
