The design system community has gained a new podcast, called “Design Systems Rodeo”. It is sponsored by zeroheight and hosted by Kevin Muldoon. “Consistently Inconsistent” is the name of the debut episode, where Kevin talks to the DS a11y specialist Daniel Henderson-Ede about Jakob’s law and how we inconsistently use the term “consistency”. Main points of the discussion: ⏩ When we say something is consistent, we always have to add the context ⏩ Multi-platform designs can be either consistent with the appropriate platform (web, iOS, Android) or with each other (across platforms) ⏩ Daniel proposes the so-called “platform-first approach”, where you consider the native components of the platform, before creating the designs ⏩ Speaking of the idea of a global design system, there are already global design systems for iOS (HIG) and Android (Material Design) ⏩ The main question is if you should aim for cross-platform consistency ⏩ The answer, as so often, is “It depends”: It depends on the maturity level of your design system and the type of your product/business model ICYMI, you can check the whole episode here: https://lnkd.in/emPx8kdC --- ♻️ Like or repost if you find this post useful, to help me reach and help more people ⏩ Follow me for daily technical tips & overall news from the design system universe 👥 Join our new design system community for engineers: https://lnkd.in/esw-urvD

Podcasters: If you think that your shownotes section is just a summary of the episode, then you are wasting valuable space. The shownotes section should help you convert New visitors into listeners and old listeners into clients. The shownotes should make those conversions easier. Here are 7 ways your show notes will improve the listener experience: 1. SEO: 》Well-crafted shownotes improve your podcast’s search engine ranking, making it easier for new listeners to discover your show through Google. 2. Skimmers: 》The reality is that some people skim and won't listen to a full episode; show notes give a quick overview of the episode, allowing them to grasp the main points quickly. 3. Time stamps: 》Some listeners are attracted to your show for a very specific reason. The time stamps let listeners find and jump to specific segments or topics. 4. Additional Resources: 》 Listeners want to dig deeper into the topic. Additional resources, articles, and tools mentioned in the episode help listeners do so. 5. Sponsor Links: 》Providing links to your sponsors gives listeners easy access to your sponsors’ websites, improving the value for both sponsors and listeners. 6. Calls-to-Action (CTAs): 》Every podcaster wants more followers.
