Shopify Forum (Web)
Drawing from this screenshot on SaasInterface, I decided to recreate the Shopify Forum experience.
- The advantage of this is that Shopify has a wonderfully-documented design system, Polaris, which greatly helped with cutting down time searching for icons.
- However, the forum itself (everything below the grey-background header) uses a different icon set; perhaps for legacy reasons, but annoying and inconsistent.
- Similarly, the tab system in the Forum is distinctly different than the formally documented Tabs systems in Polaris. It looks fine, but this forum is definitely working in its own system.
- And one more inconsistency: the color of the two primary buttons (“Log In” and “Ask a Question”) are slightly different from the top and the bottom. It looks fine, but again, working on its own system.
- A few components were made to speed up this copywork (see below). Notably, the tab system in the Forum is distinctly different than the formally documented Tabs systems in Polaris.
