Awesome article Matti!

I wonder how hard it is for storybook to create a setup using vite instead of webpack...

Thx mate. I understand that it is very much possible. Only thing I'm not too keen about is having yet another configuration.

Not hard as Storybook already has a vite builder that you can switch from webpack: github.com/eirslett/storybook-buil...

Lots of people have lack of awareness about it (op included), so when seeing Ladle it seems very appealing, but then you lose the entire ecosystem around Storybook and it's functionality. The vite builder gives you best of both worlds.

Thanks for the input! it does look like Ladle still needs more justifications, but there is another area which I did not cover, that is the whole additionl api and metadata capabilities it comes with.
