Vue Design System is an open-source tool for prototyping UI design systems. It provides you and your team a set of organized tools, patterns & practices to build upon, so that you can get started with the actual design system faster.

The tool is built on top of Vue.js, Vue Styleguidist, Vue Webpack Template & Theo and is aimed for designers and front-end developers who have at least basic knowledge of component based workflows + HTML, SCSS & JavaScript.
