  • TIL: a dive into web components

    Here at E-MUSE we favour sticking to HTML until we absolutely need CSS, and sticking sto CSS until we absolutely need JS, and sticking to client-side framework-less JS until we absolutely need to. Related to this, here is a tiny TIL: Offloading Javascript with Custom Properties, on the interaction between JavaScript and custom CSS properties.…
