Battle of Codegen Tools from Design System Developers
summary
Two talks compare code-generation approaches for design systems. One shows how Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) was used at Yandex Travel to auto-generate Compose snapshot tests and Storybook content from annotations like @Preview and @PreviewParameter. The other explains why a demo app is essential for design reviews and screenshot testing, and describes using Storybook.js plus codegen tools (Kotlin Compiler Plugin and an in-house faster alternative to KSP) to power Android design-system workflows.
