Markdown vs React Storybook: What are the differences?

Developers describe Markdown as "Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber". Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. On the other hand, React Storybook is detailed as "Develop and design React components without an app". You just load your UI components into the React Storybook and start developing them. This functionality allows you to develop UI components rapidly without worrying about the app. It will improve your team’s collaboration and feedback loop.

Markdown and React Storybook are primarily classified as "Languages" and "MVC" tools respectively.

React Storybook is an open source tool with 38.9K GitHub stars and 3.19K GitHub forks. Here's a link to React Storybook's open source repository on GitHub.

Asana, OpenTable, and Code School are some of the popular companies that use Markdown, whereas React Storybook is used by Huddle, Quizlet, and AppsFlyer. Markdown has a broader approval, being mentioned in 749 company stacks & 702 developers stacks; compared to React Storybook, which is listed in 43 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.
