I think this is perfectly acceptable. If the user hasn’t demonstrated a reproducible problem and more information is required, the user has a week to submit said information. If not, the issue is cleaned up automatically. I don’t see why th

Wasn’t it UPS that was prototyping a series of drones that docked on top of the truck, using it as a hub to deliver packages within a short range? I could see something like that being a logical next step for this tech.

That's at least a tiny bit of good news then. Thanks for clarifying that!

I know the Mozilla layoffs aren't news, but 25% is a lot and I haven't seen any sources saying exactly what happened in terms of the reorg. The fact that both of these teams have vanished is a major gut punch to developers.

Lion is similar in that it’s intended to be customized from the start. For something more “batteries included,” see https://shoelace.style .

I maintain an alternative web component library, and this is the Bootstrap comparison I like to use. [1] The API is easier, there’s less markup, and less room for error. A well-designed component also bakes in accessibility and provides enc

This is a pain point of React + web components, but I’ve heard they’re trying to solve it in the next major version. In the meantime, I built a wrapper that lets you use custom elements as if they were React components. [1] 1 - https:&#x2F

I'm no expert here, but Stencil is capable of SSR [1]. I believe you'd need to install Shoelace locally and tweak a few configs to get it working, though. 1. https://stenciljs.com/docs/static-site-generation

Some of this stuff is bleeding edge and not every possible use case has been addressed. Web components bring a valuable contribution to what browsers are capable of, and everything will catch up in time. For example, there's already ta

The shadow DOM encapsulates styles and behaviors in the component. Nothing leaks in, nothing leaks out. The concept can get confusing, especially once we start talking about how styles reflect on slotted content (i.e. elements in the "

Tables can get quite complex as features get sprinkled on. I doubt any out-of-the-box solution will nail it for all use cases. I'm not opposed to including one in Shoelace at some point, but I'd want it to have an API that's

This is an intended side effect of using a shadow DOM. I tried to outline the advantages in the Customizing section of the docs [1] and I think these three points will answer your question. - Customizations can be made to components with ex

You can use Tailwind classes on all your markup as you normally would. In terms of Shoelace components, they're more limited to layout, spacing, flexbox, grid, etc. for arranging and positioning (e.g. don't expect class="btn

Shoelace is more akin to Bootstrap. You can use it for quickly tinkering, prototyping, or as a foundation for your own design system. One thing Shoelace doesn't provide right now is a set of base styles. I've considered offering t

Of course, there are underlying utilities that enhance the components. The resulting components are standard web components. From Stencil's website [1]: > Stencil is a compiler that generates Web Components (more specifically, Custo

The difference is in how they're built and consumed. UIkit sprinkles CSS and JS on top of existing HTML elements: <div uk-dropdown></div> Shoelace defines web components, which are custom elements: <sl-dropdown>

This is a great idea. I ended up publishing the documentation site _as_ the website and didn't even think to show some examples.
