Reviewer scorecard
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
