How to keep design consistent between multiple applications?

What is your design system approach to keep designs between multiple applications,mobile, web or even sales and landing pages consistent?

I'm having a hard time in finding a sophisticated solution for that. I'm currently using tailwind and Vue in my web application, but I see no other option for keeping everything in sync except when I try to build everything else also with tailwind and Vue, or I rebuild/redesign everything in css to use it in other sites that don't use Vue.

What workflow do you have to keep that as simple as possible?

    hi @mklueh,

    I think it's simple:)

    Create a Design System, this helps you keep consistency in UI designs but also in your applications.
    What I love in this approach are changes updates, you can do it much easier. This was always a nightmare between designers and developers, now it's not.

    Here you have two examples of Design Systems:

      Thank you, will check that out

    Why couldn't you use Tailwind across both Vue and non-Vue websites? Personally, I tend to keep landing pages and my app under the same codebase for this reason.

      I could, but I'd need to have something to encapsulate my components that works across all sites or I have to rebuild the components everywhere in the underlying tech.
