Origin Story

By Dominic Nguyen & Tom Coleman

The Problem

UI components were developed inside full applications, making them hard to test, document, and reuse. Isolation was the key to better component development.

Building It

Originally created in 2016 for React. Expanded to support every major framework. 80K+ GitHub stars.

What It Means

The standard for component-driven development. Build, test, and document UI components in isolation.

The Dream

To make component-driven development the default way every team builds UIs.
