Supernova
A concise guide on integrating a component-driven development environment with a centralized design-system platform to improve documentation, collaboration, and code synchronization.

The article compares a component-focused development environment (Storybook) with a full lifecycle design-system platform (Supernova), highlighting each tool’s strengths: isolated component development and interactive testing versus token management, living documentation, and code synchronization.

It then explains how the two can be used together by hosting a Storybook instance, embedding stories into documentation pages, and treating the platform as a single source of truth for design assets and examples.

Finally, it outlines practical benefits—interactive documentation, improved consistency, and streamlined design-to-dev workflows—and lists best practices such as keeping embedded URLs current, managing access for private instances, and regularly testing embedded components.
