Mobile App Design Standards
This is your reference guide when you're building mobile UIs and need to check if you're following platform conventions. It covers the iOS and Android basics like touch target minimums (44pt vs 48dp), navigation patterns, typography scales, and WCAG contrast ratios. The React Native guidance is solid too, with the container/presentational pattern and performance tips like using FlatList for long lists. What I like is it's opinionated about atomic design methodology and includes an actual consistency checklist you can run through. It won't teach you design from scratch, but if you're implementing screens and want to avoid the common mistakes or need to review someone else's work, this gives you the specifics to look for.
