What if the button is disabled? What if the screen is dark? - **Every "story" has its own scenario.** Every component can be tested on edge cases: loading, error, empty state, and so on. - **Everything is visual.** You see the changes right away, no need to build or navigate between pages. That kind of space is called a playground, because you can safely experiment with the UI, as in a sandbox.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
