Nice improvements to scoped custom elements registries!

A chart showing responses for the question "What frameworks do you use?": - React: 72% - Web components: 36% - Angular: 28% - Vue: 18% - Stencil: 7% - Svelte: 4%
Nice result in @zeroheight.com's 2026 Design Systems Report: report.zeroheight.com#your-tools
Web components are the second-most used "framework" among the respondents.
This makes sense: if you build web components you support all the frameworks. Otherwise, you'd probably only support React.
A graph from npmtrends.com of lit downloads over the last 5 years, showing growth from 0 to 5,000,000
I just noticed that @lit.dev crossed the 5M downloads/week mark on npm! π
That's more than 2x in the last year, and 6x in the last three years π
That's a... brilliant idea! π‘π₯

Vaadin web components 25.0.0 stable release notes
π’ We've reached an important milestone at @vaadin.com: Vaadin web components 25.0.0 fully based on @lit.dev instead of Polymer are finally released as stable!
github.com/vaadin/web-c...
Congratulations on the launch @webawesome.com!! π
I have accidentally created a shit reimplementation of lit.dev in my component lab while iterating on the parts of making my components that have felt lacking.
I think itβs time to just migrate to Lit.
People so often don't get that Lit isn't a framework, but it really helps understand our design decisions.
For example: Why doesn't Lit have an opinionated reactivity system for generic data, like Signals?
Every Web Awesome theme comes with dark mode built-in π
Hello @openjsf.org!! π
Lit is joining OpenJS as an Impact Project! π₯
Donated by Google Open Source, Lit powers 10,000+ custom elements inside Google and is loved for its fast, standards-based web components.
Welcome to the OpenJS family, @lit.dev!

Lit is joining @openjsf.org! π
Today at JSConf, The OpenJS Foundation announced Lit is officially joining as an Impact Project!
We're beyond excited for this move and look forward to continuing our work to build the open web with OpenJS!

π¬ Added the Hindi translation
π Various bug fixes and improvements
Changelog: webawesome.com/docs/resourc...
Enjoying building with @lit.dev. Simple and small. Components have strong decoupling because of shadow DOM encapsulation. Flexible. Works with basic reactive props or Redux-style architecture or signals. You can even pop the hood and do imperative DOM manipulation when you need to.
10 years of building Web Components at @vaadin.com: celebrating the "anniversary" of <vaadin-combo-box>!
Check out this blog post to learn about our journey and how we finally migrated to @lit.dev:

π₯³ Congrats on the launch, @developer.mozilla.org!
Yet another piece of our web dev tool belt built with web components and Lit π
MDN, Photoshop, Reddit, Firefox, Home Assistant, Internet Archive, Chrome DevTools...
Some of my very favorite sites and apps are built with @lit.dev π₯°
@lit.dev I wrote a realtime, collaborative nonogram web game with Lit:
pixelogic.app/every-5x5-no...
Neat, looks like MDN's new frontend is built with @lit.dev
Boom, much to @justinfagnani.com's delight (I assume :P) we have much more docs on the @tanstack.com Form Lit adapter as well as better examples:
tanstack.com/form/latest/...
Working with @lit.dev and finding it a great fit for academic projects.
The components are self-contained WebComponents you can drop anywhere. They rely on web standards, so unlikely to break over time and perfect for research code you build once and don't touch for years.

Here's a nice Lit tip π‘:
Let's say you want to hide some DOM but preserve component state. You can do this with the cache() directive:
Here when showView is toggled from true to false back to true, the DOM fragment for the expression is extracted, saved, and restored - preserving all the state.
Declarative shadow DOM support, awesome!
