A Storybook plugin for developing and testing Roblox UI components in an isolated sandbox environment.
Flipbook is a Storybook plugin for Roblox that allows developers to preview and test UI components in an isolated sandbox environment. It solves the problem of having to run through entire game UI to debug edge cases or complex states by enabling focused component development. The plugin supports popular Roblox UI libraries like Roact, Fusion, and Roact 17, making it versatile for different development approaches.
Roblox game developers and UI engineers who build interactive interfaces using libraries like Roact or Fusion and need a structured way to develop, test, and document components.
Developers choose Flipbook because it brings the established Storybook workflow to Roblox, offering a dedicated sandbox for UI component isolation, visual testing, and library-agnostic story creation that accelerates UI development and reduces debugging time.
