Summary

Clerk has introduced Mosaic, a new Figma design system that allows product teams to visually prototype and brand its UI components before coding, enhancing the customization of authentication processes. Similar to how Stripe simplifies transactions, Clerk offers drop-in authentication solutions that are secure, scalable, and customizable, aiming to integrate authentication seamlessly into a product's brand experience. Mosaic provides designers with an intuitive way to explore Clerk’s components, ensuring a consistent brand identity by allowing the application of brand colors, typography, and other design elements. The system facilitates an effortless transition from design to production with pixel-perfect consistency, enabling both designers and developers to collaboratively create authentication flows that match their brand. Mosaic includes interactive components and a dynamic theming system through Figma and Clerk’s CSS variables, ensuring the authentication features maintain visual cohesion and accessibility. Users can easily update their designs with new components or design improvements by manually syncing with the latest Mosaic version, ensuring that the authentication reflects their brand identity from start to finish.
