As a system designed for "designers" with guidelines, I expected something like Material Design from Google. However, I am very disappointed, even the website UX is very designer unfriendly IMHO. I cannot see a download link or a direction for it in the home page for the mentioned Sketch file.

Hi bertan,

First, thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate you taking the time to provide it. We've actually looked at Material and other visual languages/design systems out there as we do this. We learn from those that started this before us and will continue to do so.

One of the things we think is unique about Clarity is our attempt to get an end to end design system built by a single team of UX and UI engineers working side by side. This includes the UX guidelines (both generic patterns as well as design guidelines for each component), as well as the HTML/CSS/Angular2 components. As for downloading the sketch template for example, that is a pretty good point, I created an issue on github for us to track this and take a look [0].

Just in case you're still looking for it, a link to the Sketch template is available from get started and documentation. I am also adding it here to make it easier to find [1]

We're really looking forward to hear more feedback in order to continue improving Clarity.
