Grouping helps people to understand the relationships between elements, and it is key for giving a design structure. Now, while we all understand this, many apps don't effectively use grouping. It can be easy to overlook. Now, let's take a look at a couple of examples of how proximity and grouping can be used to structure a design, and establish relationships between controls and the objects or views that they affect.

r/UXDesign on Reddit: Does anyone use a corporate design system with both Apple HIG and Material UI?
October 5, 2024 -

I’ve used design systems that were based on Material and used on web and all mobile apps. I’m hearing that using Apple’s HIG components is a better solution for iOS apps for both users and developers. However, it seems like you’d be limited in how much you can customize fonts, colors, etc. Plus it seems like every time you want to update something, you have to manage two component libraries.

Is this the recommended way of building out components? Upsides/downsides? Thanks.
