So, technically, this is not a "design system". Design systems provides code and implementation to use. I'm a developer at an agency that specializes in building design systems, and this system" is missing the key component--the code. I'll code up your design system if you send me an approved napkin sketch.

Can you shoot me an email? Link's in my profile. Would love to pick your brain about a few things.

I'm excited about this (and all things Sketch-related), but I thought this was a product release from the makers of Sketch until I saw the disclaimer at the bottom. $39 seems fair, though I'd rather see this as an open-source project that the community could contribute back to. According to the changelog, this is a v1 release and the website contains no statements about the $39 buying future updates for new features…

I'm pretty sure that this mixup is intended. This website trying to look like an official Sketch product so that they can capitalize on Sketch's successes.

I haven't heard the term "design system" in this context before. Can you give a definition or overview of what it is?

Maybe a good medium article :) This video here helped start coining the term: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hYOLLO2gc4

[edit] Invision beat me to it: https://www.invisionapp.com/blog/design-systems/ and also this site [probably the most comprehensive IMHO] lists lots of resources: http://styleguides.io/examples.html
