I hate saying things which seem blindingly obvious, but when Famous People™ such as Theo on YouTube make these basic mistakes, I wonder. 🧐

So here you go:

`document.querySelector("# my-dumb-button").addEventListener(...)` is completely obsolete in the year 2025.

Never do that again please. You don't need to!

If you're wondering “well, what should I do instead?”, check the comments; we'll talk about what to do instead. Apparently it will BLOW YOUR MIND! 😂

Continued thread

What impressed me was the prioritizing of economic justice at the framework level. That manifests in minimal code sent to the client hosted on a Cloudflare edge worker for free; reducing costs for website owners and customers.

No $20/mo hosting lock-in scheme.

Wish #webcomponents had an SDK like this...

A great behind the scenes look at all the effort that goes into building an accessible Shopify theme by @NicMakesStuff

There's also a nice bit in there about how #WebComponents are a great fit for a one-time purchase theme that you support forever because "their extensibility is unmatched" and "they never need to be updated".

React-like functional webcomponents, but with vanilla HTML, JS and CSS

Introducing Dim – a new #Framework that brings #ReactJS-like functional #JSX-syntax with #VanillaJS. Check it out here:
🔗 Project: github.com/positive-intentions
🔗 Website: dim.positive-intentions.com

My journey with #WebComponents started with Lit, and while I appreciated its native browser support (less #Tooling!), coming from #ReactJS, the class components felt like a step backward. The #FunctionalProgramming approach in React significantly improved my #DeveloperExperience and debugging flow.

So, I set out to build a thin, functional wrapper around #Lit, and Dim is the result! It's a #ProofOfConcept right now, with "main" #Hooks similar to React, plus some custom ones like useStore for #EncryptionAtRest. (Note: #StateManagement for encryption-at-rest is still unstable and currently uses a hardcoded password while I explore #Passwordless options like #WebAuthn/#Passkeys).

You can dive deeper into the #Documentation and see how it works here:
📚 Dim Docs: positive-intentions.com/docs/c

This #OpenSource project is still in its early stages and very #Unstable, so expect #BreakingChanges. I've already received valuable #Feedback on some functions regarding #Security, and I'm actively investigating those. I'm genuinely open to all feedback as I continue to develop it!

Today I saw someone coming up with their own #html tags. At first I thought they were #WebComponents but the naming was off:

<holiday>, <employee>, <month> and many more

Looked at it in the #accessibility tree, they're all generic elements.

What really amazes me is the browser still rendering the content inside and simply not giving a fuck if it's fantasy HTML 🤯

(I would be shocked if someone shows me a link to the specs for these elements in the comments 😂)

ap-components

I want to share some information about a repository we just published. ap-components is a set of Web Components for building interfaces for the ActivityPub API. I built it as I was making a sample application for handling the acct: URI scheme. I found myself making more and more components for the UI, and realised that they would probably be useful for other applications, too. The library is available on npm at @socialwebfoundation/ap-components. It currently covers some of the simplest […]
