We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

Edit: because this post is doing numbers it’s important to explicitly acknowledge that this is a bad take on a complex and big problem.

jQuery plugins depended on jQuery, and when jQuery went out of favor, they ended up in the junkyard.

There is all sorts of componentry built exclusively on React, limiting it to React-based sites. As React goes out of favor, they will end up in the junkyard. (Same with any framework-specific extension.)

But with Web Components... it seems like the story will end differently. If they are built without dependencies, they might just live as long as the web does.

@cferdinandi @chriscoyier I’m afraid that’s how the community works. Nobody is really going to get hyped about my handful of tiny Web Components, they’re getting doughy-eyed at the big shiny frameworks. And I’m kinda ok with that. If Web Awesome helps Web Components attain a bigger audience then great. At least then more people get to appreciate a slice of the benefits to

Thanks everyone for your people and resources recommendations! If you have any other recommendations let me know, thank you.

Maybe a ridiculous question, but... are Web Components the next "design system"?

DavidDarnes,
@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

@cferdinandi I think #WebComponents are a great way to distribute parts of #DesignSystems, especially if you're dealing with varying frameworks and/or working with heavily polluted or legacy codebases.

However I do think that CSS is evolving at such a rate that Web Components will take more of a backseat when distributing design systems. They will still be present but mainly to provide JS behaviour (as they should) while more modern CSS will handle visual consistency

@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

I'm still hyped about everything that happened at #11tyconf. The talks were so great, and I'm once again keen to try out @eleventy in new ways.

Especially interested to try out the new ‘Eleventy Transform' option within the Eleventy Image plugin, allowing you to transform any <img> automatically into something more performant https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/#eleventy-transform

New Web Component! <live-filter>

A Web Component for filtering items using a text input. Made this for a friend a while back and thought I should wrap it up into a neat package to go alongside my other #WebComponents.

I'll get a write up done soon but for now here's the GitHub repo and npm package:

Does anyone have the 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller? And can you measure it for me? I’m currently using a PS4 controller when I want to game away from home but it’s pretty bulky and just barely fits into my cable case

Edit: Found, 144 by 63.5 by 33mm

“Is using a pre-built frontend library realistic?”

Hold onto your <header>'s folks as there may be some hot takes from this topic that'll be discussed amongst the zeroheight team in this weeks #DesignSystems WTF.

Be warned I may be doing some gate crashing 👀
