danilov_den··on Show HN: I made the largest UI kit for Figma in the world
thank you! NFT marketplace? Hmmmm, sounds wise :)

I acted as follows: 1. First I wrote a list of necessary controls (button, input field, breadcrumbs, etc.) 2. Then I found all the design systems that I find visually pleasing. Along the way I checked which of them had repetitive controls that were missing from my list. And added them. 3. Then I assembled a moodboard for each control (these are screenshots of different variations of each control from each design system). 4. And drew them one by one. It's not hard to do when I have all the patterns in front of me.

But I have a serious advantage - I'm a designer. I learned the visual skills at different offline courses (we have great people in Russia who can teach great things). Perhaps if you clarify the question, I can help with a much better answer!

Depends on the image, but not more than an hour for each (I measured the time). Most of the time was spent on writing realistic copy, haha.

You can see what it includes by clicking "See preview". I spent several months creating this monster. As my research has shown, this is the biggest commercial UI kit.
