edit: Their Launch Event is live now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri9FEl_hRTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri9FEl_hRTc Something that caught my attention is that, in their homepage (https://lit.dev https://lit.dev), the list of organizations using Lit actually specifies where it is being used in each organization and even provides some links. In other projects it's not rare to see just the organization logos.

In the live sream they mentioned Reddit is trying out lit with SSR. Would be awesome if they ditched their React monstrosity.

  If you visit Reddit without logging in, you will see the new lit-based UI. It is lighter and faster — but then, Reddit hasn't yet pooped all over it with ads.

    I believe you can also use the Lit based UI while logged in by using sh.reddit.com!

They also have the Google logo there claiming it's used for "many projects" - but nothing linked. Google has several in-house-built web frameworks, so this is questionable.

  Lit is made by Google.

    Not directly right? LIT is based off of WIZ or something like that from google iirc? Maybe I'm wrong here.

      Lit was originally written by a group of engineers at Google, and most of the main team is still at Google working on Lit either full time or part time, though there's increasing contributions and governance from outside Google.

  There are thousands of Lit elements in google's internal repo, and new products are launching with Lit regularly. One of the recent ones I really like is Google Maps' API built on Lit and web components. Makes it super easy to drop a map into a page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/web-components/overview https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/...
