    • Versions available: Alpha4 came out earlier this month
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained: Yes
    • Number of open issues: 6
    • Test coverage: no
  • Usage stats:
    • N/A: for development only
    • Maintainer(s):
    • Mateu Aguiló Bosch (e0ipso) from Lullabot.
    • Module features and usage
    • Twig based stories
    • Pulls in Sites theme and base css.
    • So needs some updates to the development.services.yml
    • Also means it is hard to publish a storybook.
    • No need for SDC (but works well with it)
    • Great instructions on the module page
    • Way easier than previous integrations including cl_server.
    • Not as opinionated as previous storybook integrations.
