Atomic Design Pattern​

Ralph UI follows the Atomic Design Pattern, which is a modular design system that helps you create consistent, scalable, and reusable user interfaces. In this pattern, UI elements are broken down into atoms, molecules, organisms, and templates, with each level building on the previous one to create complex UI components.

By using the Atomic Design Pattern, Ralph UI ensures that components are easy to understand, maintain, and reuse, making it easier for developers to build consistent and high-quality UIs.
