Pattern Kitchen is a collection of pattern languages, spanning domains and disciplines. It aims to be comprehensive, even a bit maximalist, including not only canonical pattern languages but adjacent resources, perhaps pattern-like, perhaps poetic, that feel resonant with the pattern language ethos.
- this is a static site built with Next.js
- it also uses Tailwind for styles and MDX for Markdown…and…that's pretty much it!
Feel free to make a pull request with a new pattern language!
For each, please include at minimum:
- name / title (e.g. A Pattern Language)
- author of the PL (comma-separate list if multiple)
- short description (~1 sentence)
- link(s) to where readers can learn more
Make a new .mdx file in the '/p' directory with slugified title and 'meta' object; see existing pages for a reference of what this should look like.
Optionally also include:
- full description of the pattern language (in your own words, or if you include excerpts of descriptions for elsewhere, be sure to link to the source)
- example patterns
- tags (e.g. "urbanism" or "games")
- contributor credit, if you'd like acknowledgement for contributing the pattern
I also welcome questions or suggestions in new issues, emails with related thoughts, etc. :)
