shoelace-css VS storybook

HTMX gets all the hype right now, but there are other tools in the same vain, my favorite being Unpoly (https://unpoly.com). Together with Shoelace (https://shoelace.style) you get nice GUIs real fast, without the burden of complicated dependency management and build steps. Also, you don't have to write a lot of JS, just what is needed for small enhancements, as it was meant to be. Some might say the main drawback is the tight coupling to your backend. In my case, this is also the main benefit as it integrates perfectly with the backend framework (Django).

Hello HN,

I'm releasing Hyperdiv (https://hyperdiv.io), a framework for rapidly developing reactive browser UIs in Python, with immediate-mode syntax and using Shoelace (https://shoelace.style) as its built-in component system.

This short coding video will give you a good idea of what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJKfxaqvGE

I wrote a brief article about the motivation and approach: https://hyperdiv.io/intro.html

Hyperdiv doesn't aim to compete with serious full-stack frameworks. The core aim was to make it easy and fast to prototype apps and build UI-based tools. I was originally motivated by internal tools at work -- feeling the need to quickly put together UI-based tools to share with both technical and non-technical coworkers, without having to stand up and maintain a full internal stack.

This is my first major open source release. I really appreciate your feedback and support. - Marius

For example, all the following design systems can be used without tooling (some of them provide ready-to-use bundles, others can be used through import maps): Google's Material Web, Microsoft's Fluent UI, IBM's Carbon, Adobe's Spectrum, Nordhealth's Nord, Shoelace, etc.

Here's what this looks like - note that I'm using Shoelace components for styling purposes.

There are lots of open-source design systems built with Lit. Shoelace is a popular component set that you might check out: https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace There are many others...

Would it help if we listed more open source projects on our site?

Because of our focus on components and the fact that you really can use just about any libraries and scaffolding for apps, we don't really have an app starter kit, but it's something we've talked about.

I'm really excited about all this, and it makes me have some faith in the web again. I think that Lit is a step in the right direction especially the ability to do SSR / SSG and hydrate a web page. Hopefully 🤞 Shoelace can get SSR running, which is currently one hurdle, but I think it is achievable.

[Bug]: Configuration with TailwindCss Next.js using Tailwind with Storybook

Astro has no runtime. This means no unit tests. This also means no Storybook for your Astro components (although, they’re working on it!)

If you're into UI development, then you need to know about Storybook. It's a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation. The latest version brings some big improvements for testing and documentation with built-in visual testing. There's also React Server Component support, improved controls for React and Vue projects, as well as improved Vite architecture, Vitest testing, and Vite 5 support. Check out all the major changes in the Storybook changelog.

Storybook

We are continuing to make building fullstack websites and application with Analog and Angular as seamless as possible, and extending the Angular ecosystem through integrations with Astro, Nx, [Vitest]https://analogjs.org/docs/features/testing/vitest, Storybook, and more.

Storybook is the industry standard UI tool for building, testing, and documenting components and pages. It’s used by thousands of teams globally, integrates with all major JavaScript frameworks, and combines with most leading design and developer tools.

Expo has first-class support for building full-stack websites with React, so I can leverage that to add Cypress/Playwright for E2E testing and add the Storybook for UI components.

Storybook emerges as a pioneering solution among React debugging tools, offering an interactive environment for developers to create and test UI components. With its robust platform, teams can build, organize, and design UI components, and even entire screens, without the hurdles of business logic and plumbing.

3) Look into things like StoryBook for your components - https://storybook.js.org/ - they help you get into good practices and expose you to some more advanced techniques but in a gradual and friendly way, and again, it's good to get into good habits from the start, and these help make sure you're getting into those good habits (it can be hard to learn good habits, but being forced into them helps, I find!)

[Storybook 7.6](https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/releases) is here with increased performance and much more! 🔥 Improved SWC support 🧪 New test utilities and fast build mode 🔼 NextJS SWC + avif support & fixes 🤡 SvelteKit page and navigation mocking ⚛️ React-docgen upgrade 🎨 Controls a11y, background theming, and viewports 🩺 CLI: The doctor is in! 🚫 Addons: Remove React as a peer dependency 🪦 Storyshots and Vue2 deprecated
