JSNation 2022

With *dialog* and the inert attribute landing in all major browsers in 2022, we as web developers now have simple yet powerful primitives to help build complex app-like flows on the web, rather than the over-engineered or leaky solutions we've relied on for years. Let's demystify these primitives and talk through how they make your code simpler: from plain HTML, Web Components, to React/similar.

Get started with Web Components – enabling you to define new HTML elements that work everywhere regular HTML does. This talk will focus on Lit, a suite from Google that helps you create WCs with features you'd expect like data-binding and declarative definitions. It'll also cover how we've used them to build one of the web's jolliest sites, Google's Santa Tracker 🎅 <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
