Storybook is actually good now, with Jeppe Reinhold

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
