Summary

In this episode of Svelt Radio, the hosts welcome Jeppe Reinhold from Chromatic to discuss the dramatic

improvements in Storybook's Svelte integration. Jeppe shares how a critical video by Brittany struggling with

Storybook setup sparked a complete overhaul of the Svelte experience, leading to better collaboration with the

Svelte core team and significant enhancements in functionality. 

The conversation covers new features like Svelte

CSF for writing stories in native Svelte syntax, improved testing capabilities, support for async components, and

upcoming features in Storybook 10. The team also discusses the philosophy behind component-driven

development, the challenges of integrating with remote functions, and Storybook's future direction including AI

support and better theming capabilities.
