Mikes Notes
I need to determine what third-party design and management software to use and how to integrate it with the Ajabbi Design System.
This is for both future customers and for the Ajabbi team.
These notes came from Vitaly Friedman, editor of Smashing Magazine, a fantastic resource.

Tokens into your Figma designs.
It gives you reusable tokens that can be used for a whole range of design options, from border radius or spacer units to semantic color and typography styles. It allows you to change tokens and see these changes applied to the whole document or its styles. - Token Studio

SuperNova
Notes
"Supernova connects your design and engineering data in a single design system tool to accelerate and scale your product development."
"Supernova manages the entire design system lifecycle in one place. It's designed to fit with the way your team already works — without changing tools or maintaining self-built workflows and integrations — to enable your team to build better products.
Connect Figma files to your Supernova design system, sync design tokens via our Tokens Studio integration, and import variables from Figma via our plugin to ensure you constantly have the most-up-to-date design data in your design system.
Create advanced documentation using this data to keep documentation in sync whenever changes are made. Finally, connect design and code by automating code delivery with code pipelines to deliver tokens, styles, icons, components and documentation to your codebases." - SuperNova
