mattdsteele, 6 months ago One facet of the recent uptick in Web Components I’ve been tracking is where the interest is coming from. I’ve been a fan of WCs for a while, and struggled to see why they had such a struggle gaining traction in the “web app” world. I gave a talk back in 2018 about it! https://steele.blue/web-components-arent-weird-anymore/ My theory was the initial tooling (Polymer, reliance on Bower, etc) was too “weird” for React/etc devs, but newer tools like Stencil and Lit would help bridge that gap. That never seemed to happen!
