Ever reused a UI component and spent hours guessing how it works? With Custom Elements Manifest, your components come with contracts: typed props, events, slots & CSS vars—great for docs, IDEs & storybooks. Lucien Immink shows how: javapro.io/2025/09/04/design… @openwc #WebComponents

I guess I'm officially announcing Component Odyssey: component-odyssey.com/articl… It's a course to teach developers how to build component libraries with minimal tech. CO focuses on web components, so your components will work anywhere.

Look at that, @OpenWc just shipped some "spread" directives for @buildWithLit: github.com/open-wc/open-wc/b… There are A LOT of considerations to keep in mind when leveraging them: open-wc.org/docs/development… but, otherwise; glhf!

hey everyone 👋 are you using `@open-wc/[email protected]`? A proposal is out for when you don't need scoping ➡️ make it works without polyfill of scoped registry ➡️ means less js to ship ➡️ always works (no more strange errors because of loading order)

21%using it + need scoping
14%using it + createElement

~7 more hours to go before the UKs "Mobile ecosystems market study" will stop accepting comments. There is still time to write a formless email to [email protected] Need inspirations for what to write? @brucel has you covered in his blog post brucelawson.co.uk/2022/sampl…
In case you didn't know... this might be a rough awakening 😅 Chrome, Firefox, and any browser you download on your iPhone/iPad are skins on top of the apple WebKit browser engine. The reason for this is due to section 2.5.6 in the Apple App Store rules.

If I think I'm maybe 2/3 of the way through writing a followup post to xitter.cf/OpenWc/status/14862537… on #webComponents and #a11y how much past 25% could I really be and is it possible for me to actually finish it in less than the two weeks that it has taken me to get this far? 😳
Are you maintaining a Design System using web components? Or are you starting one? Hear some insights of maintainers of existing systems like ➡️ Vaadin (@serhiikulykov) ➡️ IBM (Ari Gilmore) ➡️ SAP (@stoyanova_elly) ➡️ ING (@daKmoR ) ➡️ Adobe (@WestbrookJ) youtu.be/xz8yRVJMP2k

I’ve said it before, without the @OpenWc kids… my job would be so much harder!
