[Exampe] using-preact - package.json: react => preact-compat unnecessary?

[kevineinarsson]

Heya, I have a project that I bootstrapped from the using-preact example and want to add Storybook to. Because how Storybook internally uses React and then iframes your application, some issues arise from the package.json configuration.

Storybook won't start because some of the imports go to the version specified in package.json and others go to react, mixing versions of react and such.

By replacing those React dependencies with normal ones and just adding preact as a dependency nothing seems to be broken... The app still uses Preact to render and from what I can tell the bundles don't contain anything from React since they're still being aliased to preact/compat in the webpack config.

Can anyone help me figure out why the react dep in package.json specified as github:preact-compat/react#1.0.0? Is there something I'm missing? Is it to make the node_modules directory smaller?
