Thank you so much for your response. I had no idea all those properties were built with Web Components/Polymer! Maybe I'm living in a React/Vue bubble, because this stuff has never shown up on my radar. > I looked a bit at Angular 2.x but for me Polymer look way more natural in terms in how applications should be build on the web. Completely agree. In the long term, I'd love to see most reusable UI components on the web built with Web Components, with optional wrappers for people who still want to use frameworks. One more question: is there currently a way to do server-side rendering for an SPA built with Web Components? I'm assuming something like jsdom will work?

No as far as I can tell this is not possible - because web components with shadow dom do not leak implementation details. For example you have <video> tag - it has its own internal controls that are not part of the markup - same with web components - <my-custom-elem> is what the browser sees - not what is inside - for it it is just a DOM element. Then again I haven't explored the subject too deeply since I do Python server side so js rendering is not an option here. I suppose it would be possible if you would drop the shadow dom from your elements.
