I just noticed that @lit.dev crossed the 5M downloads/week mark on npm! 🎉 That's more than 2x in the last year, and 6x in the last three years 🚀

WebKit blocking interop on CSS modules (import … with { type: "css" }) [1] affects a lot more than meets the eye. It means web component authors cannot make component styles a first-class dependency unless they’re willing to stuff them into a JS string. [1] caniuse.com/wf-css-modules

That's no global var 👀 that's a class with a mutable static member

Trying @diabrowser.com again with the new focus mode. It's super snappy compared to Arc but the lack of site search and color-coding of my windows for profiles is sorta debilitating for my workflows >.<

Lit is joining @openjsf.org! 🎉 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! Read more on our blog: lit.dev/blog/2025-10...

🥳 Congrats on the launch, @developer.mozilla.org! Yet another piece of our web dev tool belt built with web components and Lit 😎

Your daily dose of SSR DevX footguns

Yes, Copilot, I know, I wrote and publicly committed that code and asked you to look it up

You will know if I've been replaced by an LLM if my code starts saying // console.log(myVal); // remove this line

JS generators 👍

I finally found a use for one of my lingering domain names! $1/month justified!

Someone posted a link to TanStack Table on the @lit.dev discord. I didn't know about this before, and wow! it looks awesome! The examples show very idiomatic Lit patterns for a headless UI utility. Reactive controllers, repeat(), `@state()`, and more. tanstack.com/table/v8/doc... @tanstack.com

My kingdom for regex search in Chrome cmd+f

AI coding agents are a useful bridge for lacking docs

Announcing Oxlint Beta: oxc.rs/blog/2025-03...

I think I just realized that I styled the dark mode colors of lit.dev on my old WoW days using Tukui

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Whomever decided golang variables should be 1-3 chars should be thrown into the fires of my build errors

After writing a mini-html AST builder, I'm impressed at how quickly HTML as a language bails on unexpected tokens and just calls it Text or a Bogus Comment

Sometimes RSCs feel like the tail wagging the dog

Preact Signals just got a huge performance boost: Signals rendered as text/props & effects only "pull" as fast as needed for rendering. Since computeds run as-needed, they now only re-run as often as their downstream DOM output can be painted. H/t to @jovidecroock.com for making this happen.

You just love to see it!

I've never understood the dislike of decorators in the broader JS community. Ad-hoc metaprogramming is everywhere in JS. But formalise it and everyone hates it?

SWTL really is that one project that I'm really proud of. I'm sure theres lots that can be improved in the code, but its pretty nice how small it is. I'm also very thankful of past me for commenting the code for future me 🙃

Is there no real documentation for the TS Compiler's Node API? Over the years I've just been relying on intellisense, examples, and intuition, but I can't seem to find proper docs or even a tsdoc for it. Am I missing a link here?

I am 🤏 this close to just replacing our DI system with `globalThis[key]`

lit-html crossed 2.5M npm downloads per week and 11M downloads per month last month, and lit crossed 2M npm downloads per week! 📈 #webcomponents @lit.dev

Codebases with require() inside of ESM files deserve a paddlin'

Very cool - the new GitLens Home View is #builtWithLit and web components! 🔥

How did I not know about this in @lit.dev TL;DR – you can use `PropertyValues` to get strongly typed maps in lifecycle methods. 🤩
