Save Design: Elements Library

- **Save Design** is a community-run project that preserves and shares design resources (icons, UI kits, templates, fonts) that companies have removed or abandoned. - The **Elements Library** is its collection of "deprecated" design systems — official UI component libraries that companies once maintained but later took offline or stopped updating. - When a company sunsets a design system (e.g., IBM's Carbon, GitHub's Primer, Google's Material Design older versions), the official documentation and download links often disappear. Save Design archives them so designers and developers can still access and use them. - This matters because many products, websites, and internal tools rely on these systems. Losing access to the source files breaks workflows, forces unnecessary redesigns, and erases design history. - The project is a reaction to the broader trend of companies treating design systems as temporary marketing assets rather than durable infrastructure.
