Thank you! My team was looking for a tool like this and storybook was the only one I knew about. I linked to it in slack as an option and the people delegated to implementing the component library hopped on board. After looking at how complex it was I knew it would be a terrible idea for what we needed: something very basic. I tried to veer them away from it. I even rolled my own component showcase like you were talking about before they put storybook in. No luck, they implemented storybook and after a couple months the people delegated to roll it out lost interest in it.

We still use it, because management doesn’t like the idea of how much time we’ve already sunk into it. Storybook is a nightmare to maintain and train devs on.

If anyone needs to be able to not fall for the sunk cost fallacy, it’s management. That’s rather concerning.
