## The Hook

Storybook is where you develop components in isolation.

## What's Good

Component development outside the app context speeds iteration. Documentation generates automatically. Visual testing catches regressions. Addons extend functionality.

## The Catch

Configuration complexity grows. Build times can be slow. Keeping stories updated requires discipline.

## Verdict

Essential for component-driven development.
