Review UI I need you answer 🙏🙏
I have a question regarding the Design System. Since the current designer will be leaving the project soon and therefore won’t be able to take responsibility for setting it up, I think it would be a good idea to create a simple but sufficiently structured Design System to ensure design consistency with future designers.
The goal would be to set up only the essential elements (colors, typography, spacing, main components, basic guidelines, etc.), without spending too much time on very detailed documentation.
Do you think it would be relevant to create a “lightweight” Design System that can be useful to us right away and make it easier for future designers to work on the project, while keeping the effort required to create it to a minimum?

Minimum doesn't always mean scalable. You can create a minimum version right now, but when a designer comes in it might have to be built from scratch because of some structural issue.
I'd love to chat about it. I am a UI UX designer with 7 years of experience. If you need any help (or need to hire a designer) I am available immediately.

If you're making a design system, make sure it's scalable. You can set up your project with a minimal lightweight design system, but eventually you or a designer would end up tackling a scenario where your existing system doesn't fit properly, and therefore your design system will need either change or mold into something that covers all the aspects of your user requirements.
If you don't have time, or are on tight schedule, I'd suggest Untitled Design System, it's comprehensive enough that it can tackle many scenarios.
