alt Hacker NewsI just evaluated Lit for work and while we didn't go with it, it was very nice. I love the base custom elements API regardless of using Lit or not, turns out that's all you really need to make intricate UIs that feel seamless.

Interesting, I'd be curious to know why you all decided not to go with it if you're open to sharing! Minimally to know if I should look at any other promising frameworks.

What did you go with?
Something about Lit/web components that's not written clearly on the label is the hoops you have to jump through to style elements. If you're using tailwind in the whole app, you just want to pull it into your custom elements without much boilerplate. My main app compiles a single minified app.css, it felt not so modular to now include that in every single component. The alternative is create a subclass that injects tailwind into Lit components. It'd be perfect it just had a switch to inherit everything the page already has.
