I didn’t know any of this.

I feel like a huge door just opened on an idle Saturday morning. I need to experiment to form some opinions.

Thank you & parent poster too.

If you're interested in learning about this stuff, I recently made a website about it: https://plainvanillaweb.com/
This was recently posted to HN and I started to read it. I think your explanation for web components is the best I encountered so far.
That site is good - i might have missed it in your site but one thing I’ve run into with custom elements today is accessibility - testing with a screen reader has shown up lots of issues. Maybe custom elements aren’t perfect but they are handy.
I'll add it to the todo list :)
how every accessibility effort ends
this is a good article on styling with custom elements too: https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/css-classes-considered-harmful...
