Social media app feed

Which components carry the dashboard pattern?

The kit's components, drawn live from the same tokens as the frames. Tap them: they behave as the Figma prototype does.

Dashboard, live componentsKit geometry, light and dark

Quick Action Button

Navigation, four tabs

How does this screen follow the dashboard pattern?

The rules every dashboard screen in the kit follows, and what this one does with each.

The pattern, rule, on this screen
RuleOn the social media app
One thing leadsThe feed leads with the post, a full width photo; stories sit above it as a single row of Avatars, small enough to scroll past.
Actions sit next to what they act onFollow sits on the post’s own header as a Button, next to the person it acts on, not in a menu.
The tab bar is the way outBoth screens carry the Navigation tab bar; Explore swaps the top bar for a Search field because searching is what that tab is for.

What is it built from?

Every control with a component is an instance of it, so one token change moves these screens with the rest of the file.
