    The failed promise of Web Components – Lea Verou

    September 24th, 2020

    A spot-on summary of where we’ve ended up with web components.

    Web Components had so much potential to empower HTML to do more, and make web development more accessible to non-programmers and easier for programmers.

    But then…

    Somewhere along the way, the space got flooded by JS frameworks aficionados, who revel in complex APIs, overengineered build processes and dependency graphs that look like the roots of a banyan tree.

    Alas, that’s true. Lea wonders how this can be fixed:

    I’m not sure if this is a design issue, or a documentation issue.

    I worry that is a cultural issue.

    Using a custom element from the directory often needs to be preceded by a ritual of npm flugelhorn, import clownshoes, build quux, all completely unapologetically because “here is my truckload of dependencies, yeah, what”.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
