About Histoire
Overview
Histoire is an open-source tool for writing component stories for Vue, powered by Vite. It gives developers a fast way to showcase and document their components inside a live, navigable interface.
Built by Vue.js core team member Guillaume Chau and software engineer Hugo Attal, the project is free to use and hosted on GitHub. Its development is funded by sponsors, and the team welcomes new ones.
