Introduction to Supernova: Design system for Flutter web apps
Blog post from LogRocket
Flutter, an open-source framework by Google, facilitates the development of Android and iOS apps, with its first stable release in December 2018. It uses Dart instead of JavaScript and recently extended its capabilities to the web, allowing developers to publish mobile apps and create secure, aesthetically pleasing websites using the same codebase. Supernova, an early adopter of Flutter, enhances design systems for the web by integrating with tools like Figma and offering features such as token management, versioning, and automated synchronization. The collaboration between Flutter and Supernova enables designers and developers to seamlessly convert design data into production code through exporters, utilizing the Pulsar templating language for customization. The platform's flexibility allows for the creation and maintenance of complex design systems, ensuring that teams can automate processes without switching tools, thereby maintaining consistency and enhancing productivity.
