Custom Storybook for SvelteKit?

Describe the problem

There’s 2-year-old Sapper issue https://github.com/sveltejs/sapper-template/issues/120 in which @Rich-Harris mentioned the possibility of developing an in-house alternative to the dependency-heavy Storybook.

Describe the proposed solution

Now that Sapper was replaced by SvelteKit, I’d be curious to hear if there’s a new outlook on that?

Alternatives considered

Storybook is nice but requires some modifications to work with "type": "module" packages and comes with a huge list of dependencies.

Re-implementing Storybook is not fun, I had spent a fair amount of time in the past trying to do so. There’s a reason why Storybook is bulky today, e.g. component iframe isolation (leading to CSF spec), document-iframe inter-communication, plugins, and it’s an app itself.

With that said, there’s also https://github.com/vitebook/vitebook, but from a brief look into its internals, it doesn’t (and probably won’t?) implement Storybook’s component iframe isolation feature. But seems fairly robust to try out otherwise.

We probably won’t be re-implementing all of Storybook 😄 But we are working on making Storybook and SvelteKit work together well! So I’m going to close this in favor of https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/5397. I have PRs out to make Storybook setup work better with "type": "module" and reduce the number of dependencies, which were the items mentioned in the issue description here
