Reviewer scorecard
“Component isolation done right. Independent versioning and testing per component is how design systems should work.”
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“The learning curve is steep and the tooling has rough edges. Storybook + npm packages achieve 80% of the value.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“Component discovery and documentation are excellent. Designers can browse and understand available components easily.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
