One of the top challenges in frontend is keeping designers in sync with what’s in production. UI implementation and design are expressed in separate places — design tools and code — which naturally diverge over time. This leads to confusion around the source of truth.

We’re launching Storybook Connect for Figma to embed stories in your Figma files. It helps you compare implementation vs design specs to speed up handoff and UI review.

  • 🔗 Link stories to components/variants
  • 🕹 Play w live implementation in Figma
  • 📌 Highlight components to reuse
  • 🔐 Setup private projects
