100% this. We named the team "UI Platform Team", and the team is responsible not just for @BaseWebReact, but all the front end tooling, like an internal platform for visual regression testing or end-to-end testing.
Starting to think that "Design Systems" is too narrow of a focus for a team, and that something along the lines of "Front End Productivity" provides a better focus on outcomes over deliverables, and avoiding becoming a bottleneck.

Unpopular opinion: @fbjest should only support inline snapshots. Support for external files encourages huge snapshots that nobody will ever code review. Enforced inlining of snapshots is a forcing function for preventing abuse

Had a lot of fun contributing to the uber codebase in baseweb project. I loved the contribution guide and the application itself has a friendly architecture and setup, special thanks for @captivechains

@BaseWebReact probably has one of the best docs for a frontend framework imo Easy to navigate, clean and lucid explanations.

Base Web has its own VS Code extension including code snippets, theme cheat sheet, coloring and some shortcuts. If you are using React View to document your component library you can get VS Code snippets for free since they are generated from that! baseweb.design/blog/vs-code-…
