Blazing Fast UI Development with Storybook 🚀

Slow and tedious: words you don’t want to use when describing your UI development process. Often, though, they do apply. A refresh of a page, half a dozen clicks, and finally you’re able to see the effect of your code change. We’ve all found ourselves sitting in front of a form, repeatedly entering bad email addresses just to style the error message. There has to be a better way.

Let us introduce you to Storybook, a UI development tool that augments your existing application. Storybook is a single place where you can view any component and all of its states, saving time and reducing bugs. We’ll demonstrate how we integrated Storybook into our existing enterprise application, share the lessons we learned along the way, and show you how to make your UI development blazing fast 🚀.
