React Storybook vs Sass: What are the differences?
Developers describe React Storybook 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. On the other hand, Sass is detailed as "Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets". Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.
React Storybook and Sass are primarily classified as "MVC" and "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools respectively.
React Storybook and Sass are both open source tools. React Storybook with 39.4K GitHub stars and 3.23K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Sass with 12K GitHub stars and 1.93K GitHub forks.
Airbnb, StackShare, and Asana are some of the popular companies that use Sass, whereas React Storybook is used by Huddle, Quizlet, and AppsFlyer. Sass has a broader approval, being mentioned in 2100 company stacks & 1485 developers stacks; compared to React Storybook, which is listed in 43 company stacks and 22 developer stacks.
Originally, I was going to start using Sass with Parcel, but then I learned about Stylus, which looked interesting because it can get the property values of something directly instead of through variables, and PostCSS, which looked interesting because you can customize your Pre/Post-processing. Which tool would you recommend?
