This was my experience. I ended up using Docsify for my web component library (https://shoelace.style) as it renders markdown on the fly and works well with custom elements.

The idea behind Storybook is great, but it’s gotten slower and heavier over the years and it seems like the project has lost direction. Is it a component sandbox or a documentation website? IMO, it does neither of them well anymore. The UI is hard to customize, the shortcuts are annoying (pressing S while focused in an input toggles the sidebar, for example), and it takes forever to install and launch.

I moved on a few years ago and haven’t missed it.
