ESM-only FTW! 🚀 First time to do a major with just one breaking change and it’s a great change of pace. Many other nice wins in there too!

Hey peeps! Tomorrow at @viteconf.org I'll be talking about how agentic development is done nowadays with @storybook.js.org. Stay tuned and reach out on ViteConf's discord if you wanna know more 😎 👇

🧩 New open-source library: Component Anatomy Interactive anatomy docs for design systems. Get two-way hover sync between the rendered component and its docs. Framework-agnostic core, plus @astro.build & @storybook.js.org integrations. github.com/julien-deram...

Did you know Storybook has @tanstack.com React support built-in? 🛣 Automatic Router wrapping with memory history 🧭 Type-safe route, params, query, and path configuration 🌲 Code-based, file-based, and nested Route support 🧪 Auto-mocked Start server functions ⚙️ Zero-config setup

@vitest.dev just surpassed Jest in npm weekly downloads 📈 npmx.dev/compare?pack...

Storybook 10.3 is out! ✨ Storybook MCP for React ♿ A11y overhaul fixes 100s of issues 🧑‍💻 CLI overhaul for faster, more reliable install 💅 New Viewports and Zoom UI ✅ New onboarding guide 🏭 Type-safe CSF factories for Vue, Angular, and Web Components Take a look ⤵️

Storybook MCP for React is here 🎉 Storybook MCP gives AI agents structured context from your components and design system to build better UI the first time. 🧵 ⤵

Storybook 💙 npmx Today @npmx.dev launches its alpha. What this community has built in just a few months is unreal. The vibes, the speed, the culture. The best thing happening in the JS ecosystem right now. We're proud to be collaborating on bringing component stories to the npm browsing experience.

Seeing @patak.dev organise and encourage a community is a thing of beauty.

Rolldown 1.0 RC is here 🎉 🔒 Stable API: No breaking changes planned before 1.0 ⚡ 10-30x faster than Rollup while staying compatible 🧩 Multiple chunking algorithm improvements 📦 3,400+ commits since beta: 749 features, 682 fixes, 109 perf optimizations

here's a brief look ahead at what we have planned in the e18e community for 2026 🎉 great collaborations, and many useful developer tools are in the works. also a huge thanks to all who contributed so far - many of the libraries, tools, and frameworks we use today are faster because of you 💙

📕 Testing @angular.dev components with @storybook.js.org just got better ⚡ Use Storybook with Vitest for interactive component tests. Run them in the CLI or directly in the Storybook UI. My latest post ✍️ dev.to/brandontrobe...

wrote some things I've been thinking about ai ... and it ended up feeling very personal roe.dev/blog/the-go...

We poured our hearts into Storybook Test and there’s nothing more satisfying than reading about a team going all in on it. Incredible post @noriste.bsky.social 😍

This discussion between @reinhold.is and @43081j.com is great. The reduction in bundle size and deps tree complexity that @storybook.js.org pulled of is one of the best examples of why these efforts are worth the sweat. And when one lib improves itself, it slims common dependencies for all others.

I could watch @reinhold.is talk about Storybook all day, and you should too! Bravo @devtools.fm !! 👏

We’re sharing details about a potential vulnerability that may affect a small subset of built and published Storybooks. 🧵 (1/4)

Wouldn't it be nice to have all platforms in a single @storybook.js.org window? @chmal.it and myself worked on this prototype to stream your local simulators to the Storybook canvas. Let us know if you're interested in this!

🚀 #JSDC2025 Speaker Reveal: #MichaelShilman — Co-Founder & Product Lead of Storybook, the open-source standard for building UI components used by ChatGPT, GitHub, Stripe, Airbnb & more. He’ll present “Storybook Test: Maintaining software quality in the Vibe coding era.” 📅 JSDC 2025 | Nov 29

I'll be talking about Storybook MCP at the JavaScript Developer Conference in Taiwan this week with @evanyou.me, @tej.as, @yusukebe.bsky.social, and many more. 🤩 Excited to see everybody there!

i have a growing @e18e.dev roadmap of very useful tools we could all benefit from to make it happen, we need two things: sponsors, and leads/champions 👀 if you're interested in either, come chat to me and i'd be happy to show you through the roadmap we have!

🔥 Alongside the @angular.dev v21 release, @analogjs.org 2.1 is out! 🍞 Improved @rolldown.rs support for @vite.dev 🤖 Experimental Angular Compilation API support ⚡️ Performance improvements with @vitest.dev github.com/analogjs/ana...

We've been cooking! Storybook MCP is our attempt to make AI codegen faster, cheaper, and higher quality by reusing your hand-crafted design system components in generated UI. Join us to help crack this fascinating problem! 🙌

Tabs vs spaces? Spaces!! @reinhold.is and I discovered that when it comes to AI codegen using Claude Sonnet 4.5, spaces consume fewer than half the tokens (= half the cost) as tabs. (Curiously, the difference is much smaller on GPT/Gemini/Deepseek, which all seem to use same tokenization.)

20y ago I helped build Microsoft Tablet PC, an ambitious project that never fulfilled its promise. Kudos to @supernote.com for creating a truly satisfying digital ink experience. Got mine this week and it’s a dream come true!!!

🚀 Announcing @analogjs.org 2.0! 📜 Content Resources for @angular.dev 📦 Optimized Installs and Bundling ⚡️ @vite.dev ecosystem upgrades And more! dev.to/analogjs/ann...

Storybook v10 is looking amazing 🤩 The new CSF, the deeper Vitest integration, so many DX wins! @storybook.js.org @vitest.dev @yannbf.bsky.social youtu.be/YNQ_cJ6yy2Q?...

Something rare is happening. We're opening up a position in the @storybook.js.org team! Not only that, but it's fully remote, in Central European Time! If you want to maintain OSS, love the JS ecosystem and enjoys tinkering with the details that makes it all work behind the scenes, check it out!

It was an absolute pleasure chatting with @kevinak.se, @brittneypostma.bsky.social and @antony.is, you're the best bunch! ❤️ And for the record, I did NOT have any influence on the title of the episode, that was all Kev. 😅

Looking for LLM early adopters on design system teams. We're starting a Design System MCP project to allow AI agents to reuse the DS components. Reply below if interested! Criteria: - Mature design system - Willing to actively provide feedback/repros - Using SB 9 or 8.2+

State of JS 2025 Christmas is only 3 months away, which means it is also time to take the State of JavaScript survey (again). The more devs participate, the clearer the big picture will be in the end 🙌 Plus, you learn about features, libs, and frameworks you haven't heard before (or forgot about).

🆕 Building beautiful components faster with Storybook 9 and Expo This guest post by @dannyhw.com covers how to: • Add Storybook 9 to an Expo app • Catalog UI states and share them with your team • Distribute Storybook builds using EAS • Reuse stories for automated tests expo.dev/blog/storybo...

We recently rewrote the Intro to Storybook tutorial for Svelte, to use Svelte 5 and Svelte CSF everywhere! If there are any Svelte experts out there that want to take it for a spin and give feedback on the techniques used, that would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 @sveltesociety.dev

🚀 Announcing TanStack.com Start v1 Release Candidate! Upgrades ↓ ✨ Unified Route Tree: no more server-specific files 🔐 Type-safe middleware & server context upgrades 🛡 CSP/nonce support ⚡ Now works with any native Vite Env plugin 🌀 Zero-JS: any server handler can render!

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it. A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

We've been doing a lot of research and experiments with AI and agent-based development lately at @storybook.js.org, and we're finally ready to share some of our learnings and prototypes! We have not one but TWO RFCs that we'd love feedback and input on! 👇

What is ideonomy, anyway? I'm so glad you asked!
