zag VS storybook

Zag.js and Ark are headless component libraries created by the teams behind Chakra UI.

ChakraUI: An emphasis on A11y, meaning it is fully compatible with the WAI-ARIA accessibility standard, has won OSS awards, and has a thriving community. As mentioned, it’s one of the better choices out there as it has a great model for building composable UI, built-in hooks, and great dark-mode support. This is the same team behind Zag.js, which handles UI as state machines. Once again, you’d need to learn the API, and swapping might be hard to do.

I agree with what another poster said about Zag (also part of the Chakra project). It seems to me that eventually, with the explosion of number of frameworks, consolidation is going to happen. Segun is influential enough that Zag has a good chance of being what the consolidation ends up centering around.

it's not perfect yet, but I find zagjs promising

Keep an eye on ZAG and ARK from the Chakra UI team, I feel like together with UnoCSS that could get very powerful.

[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!)
