Finally a component library with trees and resizable panes!

this looks great. I'm puzzled by something though: why does it duplicate components that already exist in standard HTML5 (Button, Checkbox, Dropdown etc.)? The whole idea of web components is being able to augment what's already built in, not have to replace it. Maybe it's for consistency (styling/behaviour). Either way, it looks really well done.

The only reason we have 10,000 UI libraries in the last 20 years is because we decided to keep default browser UI ugly and bare-bones for some reason.

What phone are you using? It seems fine on my old iPhone mini.

Iphone 6S running 14.3.

That’s before Safari added better web component support. I would expect many sites and apps to not work at this point.

have been following the development of this very closely for this library, and love the fact that we can script load individual web component in html as bare bones.

I love this component set. The maintainer, Cory, cares a ton about accessibility and quality and it shows.

They're built with Lit too :)

I'm not happy with any of the solutions to prevent a flash of undefined components. Has anyone given up on web components for that reason? Or is there a best practice for this?

I didn't like that the components are all web components with their own shadow Dom inside. Makes styling really hard and didn't work with tailwind for example.

Just missing a (multi) file upload widget in general and an image upload one in specific.

14.3 seems more like "try to degrade gracefully" old rather than "won't support" old...
