Spacing - Analyzing The Top Design Systems (Figma Spacing Variables)

I analyzed the top 43 design systems to see the common spacing patterns and how they apply it.

Love to see a link to the Airtable data for this. re, rem units: The reason why we opt for rem units for space is because the amount of space between elements is often related to the size of the content. In UI, the size of the content is very heavily influenced by the font size (and other font metrics). When a user updates the font size on their device, we want this relationship to be maintained. Rem is often assumed to be 16px but it is not always 16px because it does depend on the user's device settings.

Thanks Donnie! I really like the way you explained REM units and it’s easier to understand. Definitely pinning it to the top for all to see. :) I also dropped a link to the waitlist in the description above

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks, Hoonie. This was super interesting and fits perfectly with wanting to build a design system soon. Appreciate you putting this together.

[@diporko2486]

You took the Spacing analysis to the next level. I really appreciate the hard you put into making this video.

[@alin4iiks]

Such an insightful analysis! It saves so much time. Thank you for creating that!

[@daniellchoii]

Your content has helped me grow tremendously in my career. Thank you!

[@danmacmahon]

Great info! Nice to have it all broken out and explained succinctly - much better than my own observations and anecdotal thoughts about it!

[@fisuhan]

You just nailed it. Please continue with these type of videos. ❤

[@asvikram1628]

Thank you so much man, you saved my time and very greatful information

[@ashikmathewtharakan8146]

I subscribed to your channel jusr yesterday morning after seeing your typography video. I hoped I would find more such topics and when I searched for it, I realised that it was the last video you uploaded and that too one year back. I was a bit sad on not finding more such videos. I was really happy when I got the notification that you had uploaded a new video.This is gold! I really hope I don't have to wait till next year for more such videos. Please keep them coming 🙏

[@hooniexp]

Thanks Ashik! I appreciate the support. I'm currently working on the next video at the moment. :)

[@D4sxysrb]

This is really insightful

[@rodnem]

Thanks a lot for this work!

[@leogotv]

Great work! Thanks!

[@nobody-bt7mu]

I've always used 62.5% as a root font size transforming 16px to 10px so that it's not confusing. It's a rather common practice for some developers to do this because it's easier to remember that 10px = 1rem etc.

[@SimonDeDesigner]

That is extremely useful, thanks for that! Really.

[@Greatkfunky]

Great job! Thanks!

[@mydesignhq]

Great Content. thank you. Please create more.

[@MrHardpx]

Your typography video is my bible when I'm starting a design system, super excited to add this info into my workflow! Thanks!

[@hooniexp]

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that it helps you with your workflow. Thanks Carlos!

[@federitossa]

This is priceless! Thanks a lot

[@bengeorge9699]

this is so much great work

[@benafiamohamedabdessamd3705]

[@victorviegas164]

Keep it up, Hoonie!🚀

[@uswa_zd.]

Amazing content!

[@ruthgalvin3646]

Such a good video!!. You should make more.

[@sayekatchakraborty2552]

Bro your contents are just awesome and full of informative. ❤ Thank you for this type of tutorials. Please, also help us to learn more about UX too

[@MahafujHossain-mz8dq]

We need more of this type analysis video❤ I hope we will get more videos like that

[@SigmaLance3375]

This is brilliant.

[@JordacheB]

Awesome work man! You should monetize it somehow. Idk… Maybe a website that provide the insights you brought here and in the other videos. Or an ebook that you can release updates within a period.

[@johnnnyfoley]

Thanks Hoonie!

[@daniel397]

Good content!

[@SaadAlShiekhAli-sg4dl]

you are the best< thank you so much

[@rodmm3010]

Legend!

[@ytrpaz]

thanks great help

[@nataivanova]

crazy research! :)

[@tengokhunashvili6343]

thanks

[@Noel-ik3pg]

Btw 16px is most likely the standard because it's the universal accessible font size for all devices and the smallest font that is recommended. As designers, accessibility should always be accounted for.

[@dwightschrutee]

You should have some donation service open that we can back you up so that you can continue working this high quality videos

[@Neptoid]

Cool at 12:45 there is an RGB effect on the like and dislike buttons. How do you do that?

[@Zunguyen13]

Great content! What about corner radius? As I remember they introduced dimension for radii, spacing etc

[@hooniexp]

Thanks Vu! I'm currently working on color, but corner radius / border is on my to-do list.

[@smilli6415]

can you break down other thngs on design systems like typography, colors etc thanks

[@vupham-qd8sp]

Please comeback and make a video about color in Design System please

[@kashififtikhar9379]

can you make more videos on DS!!!!

[@richardgravecz]

What is advantage to use different nameing then real pixel values? Feels like you have to recount everything or remember visual connections with scale ratios when you design. Also if you want to insert new value between, it will disturb your nameing more then if you would just use pixel values. Am I right or am I missing something? :D

[@beetauri]

i wonder this too. lmk if you find some answers.

[@beetauri]

i guess it's because the values are in rem instead of pixels, so they are scalable
