I had a great time nerding out about #WebComponents DX and #DesignSystems!

My friends in Columbus, please come out and support our Metro Parks with a bunch of fellow nerds! www.eventbrite.com/e/tech-takeo...

I'm so excited about the progress the @storybook.js.org team has been making!

I heard an interesting phrase today - "deskilling framework". Are there any #html, #css, or #javascript frameworks that you would consider are "deskilling" the #webdev community?

Should engineers that build the #DesignSystem be part of the same team as the designers or should they be separate teams?

I'm really excited to be participating in the upcoming virtual #DesignSystems webinar - The Redwoods Quarterly! I'll be presenting about using #WebComponents in design systems. Hit me up if you'd like a discount code. www.tickettailor.com/events/learn...

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop? #windows95

Wow! TIL - as of v21 @nodejs.org has its own built-in test runner... #javascript #webdev nodejs.org/en/learn/tes...

I sat down with @nathanacurtis.bsky.social to process what we both took away from The Question, Episode 060 on where #AI is failing #designsystems. TLDR: the amount of work to get AI to solve certain problems well may be more than what most folks are willing to put in. Watch here → bit.ly/45OYI1A

Wow! I didn't know this is how they test if you are color blind... #a11y #webdev www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

TIL - about open-vsx.org thanks to @tolin.ski and @wesbos.com on @syntax.fm. The #WebComponents Language Server is now available on there for teams using VS Code forks like Cursor! #javascript #html #webdev open-vsx.org/extension/wc...

Some new #WebComponents Language server features rolled out this weekend! ✅ Include and exclude files from the language server ✅ Create specific configurations for individual libraries ✅ Reference a CEM locally or from a CDN (this is really nice for CDN and monorepo users) #html #webdev #javascript

I am very excited to announce the alpha release of the #WebComponents Language Server!!!

Ah, bummer. I just noticed webcomponents.dev is shutting down. It was a fun tool for playing with different web component implementations.

Nothing like the thrill of getting pumped for a #WebComponents workshop @kcdc.bsky.social

If any of you are headed to @kcdc.bsky.social next week and come to my #WebComponents workshop or session, you will get a sneak peak.

Alright, my fellow #WebComponents nerds, I've got something truly awesome coming your way very soon.

@tailwindcss.com and #WebComponents...? I'm listening... tailwindcss.com/blog/vanilla...

What a great article by @luishermosilla.bsky.social! "When machines can mimic anything, authenticity becomes a competitive edge." #WebDev #DesignSystems uxdesign.cc/an-ode-to-br...

The JSX type generator now generates types for your #css custom properties for your #WebComponents! wc-toolkit.com/integrations...

I put together a simple PR to try to improve the @angular.dev / #WebComponents validation. This would let you be more specific about which components get excluded from validation instead of everything. I'm working on the custom element validation piece of it later. github.com/angular/angu...

I really like when management thinks it's so much better to make everyone full-stack engineers to make the team more efficient... 🤦‍♂️

Here's a fun little CEM utility I threw together this weekend. It sorts CEM properties alphabetically and can also sort out deprecated properties. This is helpful for documentation and producing a consistent CEM. #WebComponents #JavaScript #html wc-toolkit.com/cem-utilitie...

As promised, here is a post on subclassing `Event` to create truly custom #JavaScript events in #WebComponents. I'm excited to explore this space a bit more for creating specialized events, not just for web components. dev.to/stuffbreaker...

The WC Toolkit Storybook Helpers for #WebComponents now support @storybook.js.org v9!!! wc-toolkit.com/integrations...

This quote came up today at work when discussing #DesignSystems and #DesignTokens. Variety is expensive, both for performance and cognitive load. Too much is a bad thing.

Based on a conversation yesterday about custom events, I was playing around with strongly typing events for #WebComponents and decided to do a little write-up on it. #html #javascript dev.to/stuffbreaker...

I like how @popcorners.com added this resealable feature to this bag like I'm not going to eat it all in one sitting... 😅

This thing is so cool! If you're using web components, start using it! If you're creating web components, make sure you have a Custom Elements Manifest with great information in it.

@angular.dev team, can you please fix the `CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA` for #WebComponents? It's really broken.

@chriscoyier.net, tell me this isn't true!

🚀 Excited about @wc-toolkit's JSX Types Generator! Generate complete #TypeScript type definitions for your #WebComponents in JSX frameworks like @react.dev 19+, @preactjs.com, and @stenciljs.com. ✨ Autocomplete 📝 Inline documentation 🛡️ Type validation 🔄 Event typing wc-toolkit.com/integrations...

I know what `aria-controls` is supposed to do, but what does it actually do? #webdev #a11y

Is anyone out there writing #webcomponents with @preactjs.com?

Awesome talk by @tdesseyn.bsky.social @stirtrek.com on using social media to find your next job, but it looks like he's been skipping leg day. 🤣

Here's a new addition to the WC Toolkit - the Changelog. It compares two versions of a Custom Elements Manifest to let you know what changes were introduced between versions of your web component library. wc-toolkit.com/adoption/cha...

Something that I heard last week that I really appreciated. 4 Pathways to Purpose Something that: 1. Excites you 2. Agitates you 3. Makes you curious 4. Feels neglected from earlier in your life

Is there a CSS equivolent to JSDoc? It would be really nice to co-locate my docs next to my CSS variables in my web components. #css #javascript #webcomponents

Enhance your terminal experience in VS Code by enabling this one setting ⚙️ The terminal.integrated.suggest.enabled setting, currently in preview, surfaces rich completion support for your terminal.

I have had to dispel this myth many times myself for teams building web components with tools other than lit. It's just used as a tool that is nicer than a plain string for writing stories and binding data in them.

Oh, this is gonna be good!

Stylable form controls using #css? Yes, please! #webdev #html #javascript

Please share the cool stuff you're working on!

Today, I'm excited to release the CEM Validator for your #webcomponents! Features include: ✅ package.json validation ✅ module and definition path validation ✅ export types check for your APIs ✅ tag name check wc-toolkit.com/cem-utilitie...

🌶️🌶️ HOT TAKE🌶️🌶️ Your users of #DesignSystems are not the users of your application, they are the beneficiaries. The devs implementing the system are your users. The worse that UX is, the less likely your design system will successfully be implemented.

Do I know anyone that works on the new Reddit UI built using web components?

the popover attribute is just one ingredient in making accessible popups. It does a lot, but not everything you might need. that's on purpose. Want to know more? Here you go: www.scottohara.me/blog/2025/03...

I'm really excited to be speaking at Beer City Code this year! I'll be doing a session on "Using Web Components to Scale Your UX". I'll also be doing a workshop on "Building a Web Component Library". Come nerd out about web components! www.beercitycode.com

Atlassian has... web components??? aui.atlassian.com/aui/latest/d...
