Differences Between Storybook and Figma

  • Storybook
  • Primary Function: Creates components, builds documentation, and tests UI components.
  • Concept of Story: Represents the appearance of a UI in a specific state.
  • Framework Flexibility: Allows the use of different frameworks to create the UI.
  • Suitability: Highly flexible, making it suitable for complex scenarios and more focused on the code level.
  • Figma
  • Primary Function: Similar to Photoshop, it's a tool for concretizing and presenting design concepts.
  • Design Focus: Primarily a design tool for creating and collaborating on mockups.
  • Usage: Used by designers to create prototypes, mockups, and visual representations of UI without coding.
  • Collaboration: Strong emphasis on design collaboration and feedback.
  • In summary: Storybook is geared towards developers for building, documenting, and testing UI components with code, while Figma is aimed at designers for creating and sharing visual design prototypes.
