How to choose
Start with the job you need done: a general website built from Markdown and templates, a documentation site for an open source project, or documentation for UI components. Hugo is a Go static site generator for general sites, Docusaurus is React-based and aimed at project docs, and Storybook documents and tests UI components in isolation. After that, consider whether your team is more at home with Go or React.
- hugoBest for anyone building a general website, such as a blog or portfolio, from Markdown content and templates.
- docusaurusBest for teams in the React ecosystem who need to build and maintain a documentation website for an open source project.
- storybookBest for frontend teams that need to build, document and test UI components in isolation across React, Vue, Angular or Svelte.
