My slightly out of date iPhone has a hard time rendering this site. Choppy scrolling, delayed/choppy animations.

Suggest you change the title to include open source. Looks like MIT.

Also does this work w existing frameworks like Tailwind?

I'm sorry but that comparison with tailwind and Storybook seems really pretentious.

They tick zero boxes? Then my expectations for your product are going to be very very high.

I'm sorry but honestly I don't trust your solution simply based on how horribly slow the website even scrolls on my device.
