I went to GitHub and I found | some ts code in the examples directories but I could not find any | story, if these stories are what books are made of. If they are | something else I might have seen one without realizing it. | ericls wrote: | Why do I need to care about what tool it is powered by? | nerdix wrote: | First I thought it was a tool for writing user stories. | | Then I thought it was a tool for writing books. | | Then finally I discovered that it's a Storybook alternative.

I was hoping this would be an AI tool which turns | user stories into a web app. | | Seeking input from experts: how long until that day? Or is this | that tool...? | gremlinsinc wrote: | Yeah, I was expecting something having to do with book writing, | or user stories. Honestly, I don't understand when/why UI | became a 'story'. I get storybook because storybooks have | pictures, so it's more about the picture than the words on the | page. | | However, the tool does look nice, if the 'hook' for the site | isn't that explanatory. I might like to try it on svelte, I | wonder how hard it'd be to integrate with | laravel+livewire+alpine stack, because there's nothing like | this for that. Probably a big value too. | _jesse wrote: | I also thought it was going to be for publishing writings | online. They're reusing the lingo from storybook, which is | going to be familiar to a lot of people in the frontend space | these days. | | It does look like a great tool, I would definitely give it a | try first before going to storybook. | Taig wrote: | I couldn't figure out what this is about without diving into the | docs. The landing page left me mostly clueless. | CharlesW wrote: | Yes, it's not good. This helped me: | https://blog.logrocket.com/writing-interactive-component-sto... | | > _With the release of Vue 3, a Storybook alternative named | Histoire has gained some traction. In this blog post, we'll | explore how to create interactive documentation of UI | components for Vue 3 projects. As with Storybook, Histoire is | designed for making your life much easier to create living | style-guides and component showcases._ | moritzwarhier wrote: | > Stories | | > Write stories to showcase and document your components. | | Until having used it, I was having similar questions about the | domain of Storybook. | | But this sentence (first paragraph below the header and menu) | sums it up clearly for every frontend developer IMO. | | Also this is linked and goes into more detail about what a | "story" is: | | https://histoire.dev/guide/ | jsunderland323 wrote: | I agree. I thought this was a substack competitor for the first | minute. | radus wrote: | Though Storybook now supports Vite as well, I like Histoire | because it cuts down on boilerplate, especially for Vue 3 | projects. | dimmke wrote: | >"Histoire is a tool to generate stories applications (or | "books")." | | What a clever naming scheme! Nobody reads stories or books | anymore, so when they see the word "story" they'll automatically | assume you mean UX Story! This isn't ridiculously confusing at | all. | nonethewiser wrote: | I assumed it was a writing tool that fit into a developer | workflow. Git integration, build step, etc. | | And to be clear when I say write I mean like a novel or blog | post. Like with the English language. | dimmke wrote: | Yeah I was being sarcastic this is bad | nannal wrote: | Thank you for helping me understand what this application is. I | think, | swyx wrote: | this is unfairly negative, Storybook started calling it stories | and before them, PMs and UX researchers, to the point that it | was an industry understood term long before Histoire came | along. the overloading is unfortunate but happens all the time | - we don't complain about "bug" or "fork". | stevage wrote: | Agreed. So it's basically a tool for documenting components, | with an obnoxious name. | | Even the use of french. Why French? Because it's really so | exotic? | UncleOxidant wrote: | Oh... _those_ kinds of stories. I was hoping it might help me | finally get around to writing that novel. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2023-08-09 23:00 UTC)
