Explains that web components are browser standards (custom elements, shadow DOM, templates), shows code that registers a custom element and a Lit rewrite, and demonstrates a working GitHub repo browser that fetches and filters repos by topic. Claims lit makes property/attribute sync and uses decorators, template tag literals, and CSS custom properties; reports 20% of sites use web components. Shows that components run in the real DOM, slot and event communication works, and the demo actually fetches live GitHub data.
