Categories

Throughout the process of modernizing the Paragon Figma design library, we identified some key categories of design and usability issues, including:

• Some a11y issues like contrast in default docsite configs or default component states
• Some inconsistent token usage, especially for areas like font styles, padding, and border radii
• Areas of the Figma file we updated to match the live React components, but where we recommend updating the codebase to align with the previous version of the Figma file to improve the look or feel
• Missing or nonstandard icons
• Gaps or opportunities to enhance Paragon's usability as a design system, especially meta-issues such as the current component status tracking system
