Really cool! Curious to know what was your testing strategy for these?
Lots of e2e tests
Makes sense. Which framework did you end up using for e2e testing (Rspec, Playwright, others)?

#52MD version is intended for LLM consumption?
Liad from the team here - yes, it provides a full context from the docs to the LLMs, so they will be able to correctly use the components when generating code.
It can be copy-pasted directly to the prompt, or downloaded and attached as a file.

#53This is great, now that react 19 also supports web components this makes total sense.

#54I'm on the dev team that built this. Happy to answer any questions! We essentially use web components as a templating language to dynamically generate a GraphQL query to Shopify. Then render the data as text nodes inside the web components. This is powerful because the components don't include shadow roots. So you can come with your own HTML and CSS.

This looks great, glad to see this project and congrats on the launch. Having said that, how does this project fit in with the Shopify Hydrogen effort using Remix / React? There seems to be an ever growing number of ways to build a shopify storefront these days (ie, native templates, remix/hydrogen, web components, Shopify JS Buy SDK, etc.) so it's not clear what technology to "bet on" from a developer perspective.
