React Component library with Storybook + Anima

Components are the building blocks of your website. They should be efficiently reusable to improve development speed and consistency.

To streamline your web design process and create visually appealing user interfaces, it’s essential to have a robust component library in place.

Storybook and Anima

Storybook: Storybook is a tool for developing and documenting UI components. It provides an interactive environment where you can build, view, and test individual components in isolation. Storybook is widely used in the industry to create and maintain component libraries.

Anima: It is a design-to-code platform that allows designers to convert their design files directly into responsive code. It helps bridge the gap between design and development, making it easier to create web interfaces that match the original design.
