We’re thrilled to share that Storybook 10 is ESM-only. This reduces install size by 29%, allowed us to stop minifying our code, and helps push the Javascript ecosystem toward a simpler, standardized future.
ALT Storybook 10 is 29% lighter than Storybook 9, which is 50% lighter than Storybook 8.
Storybook 10 is here!
✂️ ESM-only (the only breaking change!)
🧩 Module automocking for easier testing
🏭 Typesafe CSF factories Preview for React
💫 UI editing and sharing optimizations
🏷️ Tag filtering exclusion for sidebar management
🔀 Svelte async component support

Progress on Storybook MCP
- Goal is for a seamless prompting <-> SB experience
- Two tools (so far)
Addictive to see the new components popping into view
Investing in building a full Vite plugin integration for Angular keeps paying off more and more 😊
Unlocked Vite(+), Vitest, Astro, Storybook, Nitro, etc 😤
Looking for LLM early adopters on design system teams.
We're starting a Design System MCP project to allow AI agents to reuse the DS components.
Reply below if interested!
Criteria:
- Mature design system
- Willing to actively provide feedback/repro
- Using SB 9 or 8.2+
Storybook’s CSF Next is coming 👀
Faster story authoring. Less boilerplate. Built-in TypeScript.
And a sneak peek at the new .test() method for writing component tests that feel natural.
Join Kyle & Kasper live on Oct 16 for a demo of what’s next.

ALT Webinar Invite: CSF Next – Less Boilerplate, faster story writing
Better context > more context. Been running experiments on LLM cost:
- Vanilla prompt $0.71
- With Storybook MCP: $0.39
That’s 45% fewer tokens for the same job.
ALT MCP provides better context which spends 45% fewer tokens than a vanilla prompt.
AI can write your UI. But can you trust it?

📚New blog: Build beautiful components faster with Storybook 9 + 𝝠 Expo
♢ Catalog every UI state
♢ Share builds with your team via TestFlight or Play Store
♢ Reuse stories for automated tests
Full guest post by @Danny_H_W ↓
Cursor writes code fast, but does it work? Pair it with Storybook to see components render in isolation.
Join us with @kleneway for a live demo of his workflow:
✅ Feed Cursor a build checklist
✅ Watch components render live
✅ Decide: iterate, ship, or scrap

We cut Chromatic's total accessibility violations by over 66% in the last 6 weeks. Here's how:
Over the years, we accrued a11y debt because it was everyone and no one's responsibility. Sure, we did VPATs but they were out of date the moment they were finished.
