Just because you got confused by a headline doesn’t mean the copy on the website itself isn’t relevant to their target audience. I’m a front end dev and understood it immediately (you can infer the meaning/context from “powered by Vite”).
At most you can critique the HN headline drawing in randoms, which is a legitimate complaint, but I don’t see a problem with their copy especially for a brand new OSS project. Marketing sites are usually an after thought that improve after the first year.
Unless, you know, you think this new volunteer project should be selling you on using well documented component libraries or something.
- nwienert 3y agoI'm a frontend dev who is familiar with Storybook and I didn't realize this wasn't about publishing an actual book, even after clicking around to a couple pages, until I came back here. So yea it's pretty valid feedback.
- dcre 3y agoSame. I use both Vite and stories and it took me a solid 30 seconds of scrolling around to figure out what they were talking about.
- dimmke 3y agoI actually have to agree with the parent. They were right to take me to task. After all, Vite and Storybook are ubiquitous tools of the trade in front-end development, which is a domain of programming famous for its rock solid stable tooling and methodologies. Sarcasm aside, I actually do like Vite quite a bit. And I still think my main point stands that a framework that exists to document components co-opting the word “book” is ridiculous.
