Hey guys! We're really excited to launch Astrum today! Astrum is a lightweight pattern library designed to be included with any web project. It’s open-source, released under MIT license, so we hope you’ll take it out for a spin and let us know what you think. Any questions feel free to pop them here and myself @ryanhavoc or @mattantwest will answer them :)
@pwheslop Hey, I'll answer on Dan's behalf. So I guess you could think of it like the front-end equivalent of branding guidelines. So as front-end dev's we'd break down a design into reusable chunks of markup/code e.g. different button styles, different navigation styles etc etc. Those all then go into the pattern library (Astrum) for reference by other developers, the designers to ensure consistence and it also acts as documentation for the project. It's particularly beneficial when multiple developers are working on a project and/or when a project is going to be passed around to other teams. In the long term it can reduce future development time because you can review and use your reusable components, documented in the pattern library, rather than dissecting existing templates or worse reinventing the wheel and build the same thing again from scratch.
