> TLDR; Our design system is OSS under MIT at [design.documenso.com](https://design.documenso.com)
|
|
|
|
Today, we are open sourcing our design system, lovingly crafted by [Thilo](https://twitter.com/thilokonzok). The system is public on Figma and will be available at [design.documenso.com](https://design.documenso.com) from here on out.
|
|
We are publishing it under the MIT License so everyone can share, remix, and use it as it helps them most.

|
We chose to start our first launch week with a design topic to emphasize the role design will play in Documenso's company and community culture. As it is historically difficult to bring together open-source software with great design, this is our first step towards encouraging a more design-driven COSS (Commercial Open Source) movement.

## Designers Welcome
|
|
|
|
We added a designer role in our Discord to create a space for designers to explore and discuss design-related topics of Documenso and signing in general. In the future, we want to foster more coding contributions and start a design culture around the product. As it is much more difficult to incorporate design contributions, we have yet to find a clear plan of what that will look like. I would like to see contributions around stuff we are NOT working on. Designs in that area can inspire and start discussions without the complexities of implementing them immediately — a free-thinking space around everything Documenso. Having a free mandate to design without restriction can create many exciting ideas. Some Ideas worth exploring:
|
|
|
|
## Areas for design contributions
|
|
|
|
- Explorations of exciting aspects of signing and document handling:
|
|
- What does signing look like when we no longer have skeuomorphic signatures?
|
|
- What is signing if we move beyond paper-inspired documents?
|
|
- What would the government process look like using Documenso?
|
|
- Solutions Concepts for features further down the roadmap, e.g., Widgets in websites
|
|
|
|
These are fascinating ideas for explorative design. They won't be built 1:1 but shape how we think about signing and where it can go, which is even more critical. If you are interested in product design, you are invited to join our [Discord](https://documen.so/discord) and discuss the future of signing design or the future of Documenso's design system. Also let me know what you think on [X (formerly Twitter)](https://x.com/eltimuro).
