What do you use while working with Storybook?

Hey everyone! I'm going to use Storybook for my design system. I'd love to hear any suggestions like "Try this plugin, it's awesome". Something, like switching between themes, generating layout to show all colors, fonts, etc. Maybe even some tips and tricks

I've heard about a11y, but Storysource looks like something interesting. Thank you 👍 I love how it looks in Markdown Docs, it's just an implementation, just JSX. But with usual JS it's just entire file. Anyway, it's cool to have everything inside the Story itself.
