UI Kit is a set of user interface elements that designers and developers need to simplify their work and create a unified product design for users. It allows you to quickly and efficiently create complex interfaces.
The easiest way to assemble the main UI Kit is to identify the interface elements on the main screens and place them in a separate place so that all subsequent screens are created from ready-made components.

Harry Brignull is the UX specialist who first coined the term ‘dark patterns’ in 2010 and launched this website. Recently, Harry has started to provide expert witness services for Dark Patterns.
Dark Patterns are tricks used in websites and apps that make you do things that you didn't mean to, like buying or signing up for something. The purpose of this site is to spread awareness and to shame companies that use them.
When you use websites and apps, you don’t read every word on every page - you skim read and make assumptions. If a company wants to trick you into doing something, they can take advantage of this by making a page look like it is saying one thing when it is in fact saying another. You can defend yourself by learning about Dark Patterns on this site.

At GitHub, we pride ourselves on delivering a first-class developer experience. A considerable part of our work is on our front end, which we strive to keep as lightweight, fast, and accessible as possible.
For a product as large as GitHub, this can be quite the task. Like many front-end codebases, we leverage components, independent, isolated, and reusable pieces of code that allow application teams to deliver high fidelity UI quickly and efficiently while still keeping to our high standards of quality.
We’re using Web Components in a big way at GitHub. We have over a dozen open-source Web Components and with dozens more that are closed source.
Overall, we’re thrilled with the changes that we’ve made to the GitHub front-end since our last post. According to the internal developer surveys that we’ve conducted, our developers are pleased with Catalyst and ViewComponent!
Developers enjoy the encapsulation of ViewComponent, making it easier to test UI and increasing developer confidence. Developers feel Catalyst is a welcome change from “old-style” JavaScript without the massive leap to a different framework or paradigm.
