Backlight empowers front-end teams to build and ship great design systems. A unique, all-in-one design system solution. For developers, loved by designers.
Design systems boost productivity, quality and scalability of a product. But they're often costly and time-consuming to build. With Backlight, get your design system in days, not months.
Backlight embraces collaboration across all disciplines. Forget tickets and manual updates. A visually-organized component library, instant sharing and live documentation mean anyone can contribute to your design system.
Backlight renders pull-requests visually for effortless checks and reviews. Get a clear before-and-after of your changes, without waiting for the build or deploy task.
While Backlight is a code-centric tool, designers love using it too! Thanks to our Figma plugin, designers can automatically generate complete UI kits from code in just minutes. No need to maintain Figma libraries manually when the code changes.
Backlight provides design system examples to help you jump in.

We’ve had the privilege to deep dive into <div>Riots’ Backlight in private beta for the past 6 months. Not only does the platform save our teams a crucial time in terms of Design System development, but this best-in-class solution enables designers and developers to smoothly collaborate.

Woow. As a seasoned front-end engineer I really liked it. Design System is essential and had to be put from the start. Later on the development it is really hard to adopt one. I will keep looking after Backlight. Good job team!
