Release 1.0.0

🎉 Our first major design system release!

It’s official: the New York State Design System has hit 1.0.0! This marks our first stable release of the component library and design libraries. You can now explore and install our published packages here: NYS Design System on NPM.

We set out to ship 15 web components for v1.0.0 — and delivered 17. ✨

A huge thank you to the entire Design System team — Eric, Doug, Emily, Leo, Kristin, and Robert — for an incredible three months of work getting us here.
