## Reviews

### "Working "Code First" with Backlight" — 4.0/5

> **Kyle** | *21 December 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As an engineer, most design systems I found were focused towards designer, while I needed something that could be used and built without Figma files. Having a platform that caters to code, rather than design files, is exactly what I need.
> 
> **Cons**: Errors \& stack traces can be difficult to debug. Some tasks are not fully documented. Have had multiple glitches that require refreshing the browser and losing work.
> 
> Very positive. There have been a few let-downs, but the team has worked earnestly to resolve the inefficiencies and communicates their resolution clearly. The crew has worked tirelessly to resolve questions in their Discord channel no matter what time of day or night I have requested assistance.
