  2. Storybook is an open source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular. It makes building stunning UIs organized and efficient.

    Fractal looks less shiny than Storybook, that I have used for ReactJS projects, but it can easily be used for projects without any JavaScript framework.

  4. Create atomic design systems with Pattern Lab.
    Fractal seemed easier, at least to me, to understand and maintain, than PatternLab, which I failed to install due a bug in the current installer (and when I managed to install the grunt version, I was already told that there is fractal as a possible alternative).

  7. Powerful component libraries & styleguides that fit the way you work.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Recently, I discovered a tool that helped me build a design system: fractal.build. Described in by Rachel Andrew in her article Pattern Library First back in 2018, fractal does look a little old school, but it can be customized and does a good job without getting into your way.
