Protraktor UI Kit (expected to be converted into a design system) is a set of Figma components for UI controls, information visualization widgets, and general layout elements and templates for professional and complex systems, where efficiency is more important than look and feel. In some sense, it is a conservative, boring UI kit based on time-proven usability principles rather than modern trends.
It is a never-ending activity, but the idea is to cover the following:
- Desktop, web UIs, and embedded HMIs
- Provide palettes for multiple light conditions, from direct sunlight to dark moonless night that requires scoptic vision.
- Be very accurate with edge cases, where modern frameworks are too simplified.
- Use color as a semantical tool instead of for decorative purposes
- Provide a wide range of niche widgets and controls for tasks that are typical for complex monitoring and control systems.
- Also, to create a set of icons that are typically needed for such systems and not covered by popular icon sets, like the one from the Android Material design system.
