SMRTR summary

A new workflow for creating React components from Penpot designs is outlined. It involves designing in Penpot, an open-source alternative to Figma, then building and testing components with React and Storybook. This process aims to improve design-development alignment and produce more consistent, maintainable UI code.

The approach combines Penpot's developer-friendly features with React and Storybook to create a seamless design-to-code pipeline. It offers potential benefits in efficiency, consistency, and collaboration for development teams.
