## Source excerpt

Before joining my current employer I have worked for an app agency and one thing I have noticed is that we were building every app entirely new from scratch even if we were building a similar app for the same customer with similar UI. We hadn't reusable components. In this blog post I want to share some thoughts and lessons learned while building such reusable components.
