Design system management without all the management. Knapsack unites your design, code, and content in a central source of truth for your entire product team.
This was very much a free range discussion, which allowed for some interesting exploration, but I did not always see the connection between the agenda and the train of thought.
I am no expert. Just an engineer trying to find a knowledge base solution for the small company I work for. Perhaps I am misunderstanding SSOT, but it strikes me as being a fantasy. Or perhaps an ideal to aim towards with the recognition that it is ultimately unattainable. I just stumbled across this video, but I appreciate the description/recognition of SSOT being an illusion. “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”

At one point you mentioned that not to buy a five dollor haircut from agency or consultant. But dan is running a consultancy. So this means that you are degrading his services and saying knapsack is better solution for all
We're saying, don't invest less than what's needed for your specific organization and avoid taking shortcuts. Often, design systems aren't given the priority they deserve initially, leading organizations to start from scratch after a few years (think fixing a $5 haircut), wasting time and resources. This webinar is your guide to getting your design system prioritized within your org, so you won't have to restart it. Knapsack is the go-to platform for enterprise teams with complex product needs, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Dan Mall's services aren't the equivalent of the $5 haircut shortcut we mention. Hope this clears things up!
I'm amazed by the quality of information and transparency you guys delivered! Thanks a lot. I have one question. Do you see a market for smaller organizations like young startups, pre-seed, Series A, etc.?
Hilariously enough, it seems that one seems to save more by being less efficient than being more efficient: the difference between 9 and 10% is simply eye-opening. I can't wait to aim for a 9% efficiency gain instead of 10%!
