    For a bit more simple alternative I might suggest Fractal - https://fractal.build . While it doesn't have so much knobs and whistles as StorybookJS, it's easier to set up and get running for smaller projects.

  3. Easily share reusable components between projects and applications to build faster as a team. Collaborate to develop, publish and manage components and modules at any scale without overhead.

    For those looking of component showcase I'd kindly advise to also look at https://bit.dev, https://github.com/teambit/bit . It is a standalone service that hosts your components, providing each of it as a npm package. You end up developing the components in a separate repo, and in your main app repo you install each component as dedicated npm package. Those who get excited by `separation of concerns` pattern should find this a real joy.

    The combination of cypress and something like percy (https://percy.io/) has made me completely lose interest in testing components independently. The components that make up a UI are an implementation concern that I don't really care about testing independently. I can write automated tests to verify that a component in a relevant context still functions, and can have a check at PR time to verify that the UI hasn't changed unexpectedly.
