Avoiding vendor lock-in through Web Components
summary
Claims that native Web Components let teams ship framework‑agnostic UI, backed by real examples: the Photoshop web client is built on components, YouTube and GitHub use them, and adoption hits 1 in 5 page loads. Concrete tooling and costs appear: helpers like lit 5 KB and lit‑html (~3 KB) or haunted (React‑style hooks) reduce dependency bloat. Details cover Shadow DOM encapsulation, slots, actual starter counts vs hundreds/thousands of node packages, and security/maintenance tradeoffs.
