Key initiatives coming soon​

System-wide evolutions​

  • Figma: We are working to transition to Figma as our primary UX/UI design tool and will explore implementing Figma libraries into BUX
  • BUX website: An updated BUX website with an improved interface and more tools and guides to help users integrate BUX into their website.

Code optimizations​

  • Refinement for performance and compatibility: We will work to reduce the size of the final BUX CSS and JavaScript files by fine-tuning the underlying code to eliminate unused code and redundancies.
  • Web components for BUX: We will build BUX components as custom elements with the Web Components API to allow users to adopt self-contained, drop-in BUX components.
  • Coding best practice guidelines: We will develop and publish best practices for code style and approach to create consistency across BUX components’ implementations, to increase the ability to reuse and share code and to make components more composable.

User experience optimizations​

  • Microinteractions: We will continue to explore enhancing existing BUX components with microinteractions that add a layer of sophistication and consistency.
  • Dark Mode: We are working to create dark mode versions of all BUX components and templates.
