WebStorm Early Access Program

At JetBrains, we believe that to make great tools, we should listen to our users and try to involve them every step of the way. Our Early Access Program (EAP) lets you try pre-release builds of our products and influence the development planning from the earliest stages.

Why should you try EAP builds?

  • You will be one of the first to try out all the latest enhancements and the new features.
  • You can have a real impact on product development and help us improve the final version.
  • You get to use pre-release versions of JetBrains products for free.

Please report any issues or feedback you might have to our issue tracker. When the EAP ends, we will go through the list of reported problems and reward the most active EAP users with free WebStorm licenses.

This is an early access version of the product

You expressly acknowledge that this version of the product may not be reliable, may not work as intended and may contain errors. Any use of the EAP product is at your own risk.

Storybook Connect: AI-assisted story management, without leaving the IDE.

Storybook is only useful when it's up to date, and keeping it that way is so tedious that it usually isn't. Storybook Connect is a new plugin that detects components without associated stories and uses its AI agent to generate them from your TypeScript props, with no manual prompt writing required.

It also includes Skills and tools, so the agent understands your component library from the start, improving reuse and accuracy in your project. Storybook Connect is compatible with WebStorm, PhpStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, and other IDEs.

Install it and share your feedback!
