Storybook: New and upcoming features
summary
Storybook now serves 12 view layers and approaches 1M installs/week, runs UI code isolated in an iframe with a separate manager and preview, and ships a declarative Component Story Format plus codemods to migrate thousands of imperative stories. The repo consolidates 30+ packages into a monorepo, about 50% TypeScript, adds MDX-driven docs, an add-on API for private extensions, CLI bootstrapping for existing projects, and integration with visual-test tooling (Chromatic) to turn stories into coverage and snapshots.
