I like NiFi Design System. A bit "boring" perhaps, but probably the most
self-descriptive project name for newcomers.
I like Fluid Design System as well if the intent is to be more generic,
indicating that it is not intended just for NiFi projects but can be utilized
anywhere (but "fluid" has a tie in to NiFi terminology as well).
Thanks for the links to other examples - that was helpful as I don't have much
background / knowledge in modern UX development.

Hello MikeM/everyone,
One of the questions brought up in this discussion was centered around what
a design system is. I stumbled upon a really great article this morning on
this exact topic. It also links to several other really great articles and
will help us all to understand.

Also, I was thinking about the name.... what does everyone think about
naming this sub-project NiFi Design System?
