What our users say

Brad Wade
Web Development Architect at Memorial Sloan Kettering

"Knapsack has become an integral and central part of our production process for both front-end developers and product owners...and it keeps getting better."

Robin Cannon
Global Director of Design Systems at IBM iX

“Knapsack can be a great accelerator, helping organizations to provide that platform. We've successfully partnered with Knapsack when building design systems with our clients, and it's always part of our consideration on the best solutions to recommend.”

Tommy Kuntze
VP of Research & Design at Rhumbix

"Knapsack’s approach simply matches how we expect collaboration software to work—log in, make changes, and trust that everyone sees what you did. Members of our team trust that everything in our design system is up to date and official."

Sujeet Jaiswal
Lead Engineer at VistaPrint

“If you want to summarize it in one line: it’s awesome...Knapsack incentivizes all developers to follow best practices, and the result is an app that feels like it was built by a single top-notch developer.”

Josh Benard
Product Manager, Consumer Platform at Opendoor

"Knapsack gives us prototyping in code that designers can play with. And, dropping our technical scope of maintaining the code and Storybook is way more valuable to us than trying to maintain those things with the hope that eventually it becomes a design asset."

Robin Cannon
Global Director of Design Systems at IBM iX

“When we're building design systems with our clients, we want to set them up for long-term success. Knapsack is always high on the list of considerations when I'm recommending solutions for a universal design system platform for documentation and engagement.”

Tommy Kuntze
VP of Research & Design at Rhumbix

"Thanks to a single URL and an approachable front-end to our design system, we’ve been able to consolidate our product’s documentation, React components, and Figma designs. Better yet, it’s now so accessible that folks actually use it and contribute to it!"
