I need help from @svelte.dev @storybook.js.org users. We're considering adding support for stories extending other stories, with partial overrides where necessary. Would this be a big deal to you or not at all? How would a syntax like this work for you? Would you like something else instead?

Svelte Storybook code showing using an extend(Story) snippet to nest Story components.

Code:

<script module>
import preview from '#.storybook/preview';
import Button from './Button.svelte';
import Icon from './Icon.svelte';

const { Story } = preview.meta({
component: Button,
})
</script>

<Story name="Primary" args={{ primary: true }}>
Click me

{#snippet extend(Story)}
<Story name="Primary Small" args={{ size: 'small' }} />

<Story name="Primary Large" args={{ size: 'large' }}>
{#snippet extend(Story)}
<Story name="Primary Large Starred" args={{ disabled: true }}>

{#snippet template(args)}
<Button {...args}><Icon name="star" /> Starred</Button>
{/snippet}

</Story>

</Story>

FWIW I've had great success with this exact approach, so have many of my peers. Write everything yourself, get critique by AI, re-write yourself, repeat. But it's very easy to fall into the trap of "can you draft a suggestion for me" > copy-paste sentence in, and then the flow of the words is gone

Can someone who's an expert in Web Components and CEM help me make sense of these download numbers? AFAIK web-component-analyzer is the old one, and @custom-elements-manifest/analyzer is the new one, but the old one is taking off, even with no new releases for 3 years? npmx.dev/compare?pack...

Storybook's Vite-based Next.js integration finally surpassed the long standing Webpack-based integration! That's wild actually.

Of all the packages they could have chosen to highlight my work with, I think the manage to find the one that relates the least to me. Thats pretty impressive in itself.

Excerpt from an email reading:

We came across your work on NPM (@storybook/preset-vue-webpack) and really liked what we saw. We're building some exciting tools at Neon Innovation Lab and would love to connect.

A cool side-effect of the ecosystem converging on Clack prompts as the DX for CLIs, is that when multiple CLIs are combined you get a really clean holistic experience for free! You have to squint to see where the @svelte.dev experience ends and the 🔜 (upcoming) @storybook.js.org experience begins.

This is what happens when you migrate your MCP server from from the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to tmcp by @paolo.ricciuti.me. 😱 And of course it's not just that, it's also the whole API being better to use and more typesafe. It's like Webpack vs Vite. Paolo is cooking with tmcp, no contest

I'm very happy with the camera, I take a gazilion photos of my family. I especially like the Portrait mode, even though to my trained eye I can see that the blurry background is actually not from the lens, it's post-processed.

I just read "Curious George, Plumber's Helper" and realized that the author have no idea how plumbing or drainage works. Half of the story doesn't make sense. I wonder, if this was written today with unknown characters, if it would be considered AI slop.

My wife noticed yesterday that throughout my whole @syntax.fm appearance, my camera decided to focus in the microphone in front of me instead of my face, making it slightly blurry. 😵‍💫 So much for buying expensive gear... 💀

So apparently I haven't updated my OS since December 2022, which @cloudflare.social's workerd (and by extension, the Cloudflare adapter for SvelteKit) is _not_ happy about. Well now I know what my evening plans are. 🙃

We won't be able to re-create Barcelona, but we should try anyway! I came for the tech. Stayed for the community. Remembered it for the friends I made along the way. If anyone of you ever stop by Denmark and want a taste of forrest, nature, farm life, my DMs are open!

But without a doubt, what I'm most grateful about, is hanging out with Dominik. We've been working closely together for some time now, and we collaborated on our talks, but spending all that time together with you in Barcelona was fantastic. You're a great person, and a great friend.

And then there were all the surprise encounters like @andrewgoodricke.bsky.social, @fubits.dev (and plenty more). It was so great to meet a tonne of enthusiastic Storybook users that I usually interact with through issues and PRs. I'm very grateful for talking with all of you. 🙏
