In an attempt to break down the conversation around design systems in more concise posts, here’s the one where I am listing benefits and direct and indirect impacts of design systems in organisations.
There are already plenty of pages answering this question from all possible angles. This post adds very little to the discussion but it helps me organise my thoughts. By the way, I typically organise my thoughts through systems.

First Australian Open that I follow from the beginning since 1994 or so :tennis: Sabalenka won her first slam, Novak Djokovic made it to the 22nd, and I am loving this sport more than ever.
Astro built-ins and plugins are not sufficient to deliver all the features or details that I want to have. But that’s no problem at all because Astro is very open for extension!
This post is the summary of my hands-on, head first, and all heart approach at piecing together the Astro integration that delivers my ideal :star: MDX authoring experience.
Since I am migrating this site to Astro - which I am convinced is the best SSG out there right now - I was expecting to have the same advanced MDX authoring experience as in my previous website. Better even, maybe the challenges I was not able to solve before were meanwhile solved by the awesome folks out there.

Relaunching my website, again based on another Typescript SSG framework. :rocket: Not React-Static anymore, not even React “at all”. Introducing the magnificent Astro. :moon:
