The HIG website seems down:
I’d like to use it for guidelines on designing the UX for my editor extensions.

https://hig.unity.com/ is still down. it’s been 8 months… We need a response on this! Or if it needs to be down / non public facing. for some reason put up a page explaining why or that it’s being revised, etc. not a 404 not found!
There is even this official blog post (still) with broken links to the HIG site: Unity Blog
hig.unity.com’s server IP address could not be found.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

@LazloBonin FYI the website is still down. Maybe you have someone at Unity you can contact internally at this point?
FYI: they accepted support request from me before regarding their websites. So I think that would be a more efficient way to raise the problem. Just wrote to the support at unity3d dot com and they answered (and solved the problem).

Solved the problem? It’s still unreachable.
It was a different thing.
Ah…
Anyway, I’m curious about that web-site I cannot visit…

BTW, isn’t this the same one?
Yeah, this seems to be it, thanks! they still need to fix the DNS for hig.unity.com subdomain but at least the site is to be found somewhere.
Wow, seems like they pulled it down!
Does Unity not want people following a consistent design language? Haha.

Hello everyone. Our apologies for this, admittedly large, inconvenience! The previous HIG was very limited in info. We are really shifting towards putting much more emphasis on the creation and documentation of a better design language. We are working on a solution now. Please know that we are far more dedicated to this!
We pulled the old version down because it was very often not helpful since the scope was so limited. Based of user comments it did not seem like what we had up was very useful. We thought it would be best to take it down while we work on a better solution.
Was there guidance there that you found valuable? Was it a mistake for us to pull the site down while we work to create a more robust solution? I would love any feedback you have to we can make sure to do what is best for everyone.

I think that pulling down any kind of relevant information leads to misunderstanding:
I weren’t able to google any info on HIG till I’ve looked for the random forums
You were needed to keep it and say on the very first page that you’re working on a more robust solution
So we’re waiting for it, is there any ETA?

Hi all! Thank you for your patience and interest in this topic. The Unity Editor Design System (intended to replace the HIG mentioned here) is currently under active development. We would love your feedback on what we’ve been working on so far!
Our goal in getting your valuable feedback is to ensure that what we create will be useful to you in your day-to-day, especially when creating tools extensions/packages to be used in the Editor.
If you’re open to chatting with us and having an impact on the development of the Design System, please let us know by filling out this Qualtrics form.
