Engineering nits: Building a Storybook for Slack Block Kit

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses how incident.io's engineering team uses tools to increase productivity and speed up shipping. They have built an internal tool called "Block Kit Storybook" inspired by the Slack Block Kit design system, which helps manage their growing number of Slack modals (forms) and messages. This tool allows them to store example Block Kits, render them using Slack's official Block Kit builder, and easily share these examples with others. The team finds this approach beneficial for productivity and collaboration, especially when working on Slack interfaces.
