Gatsby Remark Design System

Overview

The gatsby-remark-design-system plugin is an impressive tool for developers looking to streamline their design process using Gatsby. Inspired by the Catalog system, it provides a way to create a design system or style guide directly in Markdown, making it accessible and efficient. However, it's important to note that this plugin is being phased out in favor of more powerful alternatives, such as MDX and the @lekoarts/gatsby-theme-specimens, which offer superior functionality and flexibility.
