Frontend Strategy & Design System
Documentation and reference implementations for high-density scientific applications.
Frontend Strategy
Our approach to building scalable, maintainable tools for scientists.
This site serves as the central hub for our frontend architecture, choices, and best practices. We prioritize information density and performance to support complex decision-making processes.
Tech Stack
- React & TypeScript for type-safe UI logic
- ShadCN UI for accessible component primitives
- Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
- Astro for performance and static content
Key Principles
- Clean and fast user interfaces
- High information density
- Keyboard accessibility
- Maintainable, strictly typed code
Why not OneDesign?
OneDesign is an excellent design system optimized for mobile and patient-facing applications. It prioritizes large touch targets and simplified interfaces.
Our users are scientists who need high-density data visualization and control. We need a system that maximizes screen real estate and supports complex workflows.

Installation
Add components to your project using the shadcn CLI.
1. Configure your project
Add the registry to your components.json file:
{
"registries": {
"ddc_solutions_frontend": {
"url": "https://ddc_solutions_frontend.shadcn.registry.dev"
}
}
}2. Install components
Use the shadcn CLI to add components from the registry:
# Install a single component
npx shadcn@latest add ddc_solutions_frontend/button
# Install multiple components
npx shadcn@latest add ddc_solutions_frontend/card ddc_solutions_frontend/dialog
# Install all available components
npx shadcn@latest add ddc_solutions_frontend
