Design System Hub vs Storybook

Storybook and Design System Hub serve different roles.

Storybook

Storybook is the developer workbench for isolated UI states, visual checks, examples, and component iteration. In this repo the workbench lives under apps/ui-workshop.

Storybook can remain developer-focused, detailed, and implementation-adjacent.

Design System Hub

Design System Hub is the OS-native product entry for:

• component references;
• app patterns;
• app recipes;
• style packs;
• AI-readable generation rules;
• design references;
• future metadata indexed from Storybook.

It should explain how an app should be assembled, not just how a component renders in isolation.

Relationship To Reference Ecosystems

Bit.dev inspires composable building block discovery. Storybook inspires isolated UI validation. shadcn inspires registry and recipe workflows. Material Design, Fluent UI, Ant Design, and Liquid Glass are style and system references. Prox OS uses these references to clarify its own direction, not to copy their product or UI.
