Lit

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...

What if there was a Web Components conference?? @stuffbreaker.bsky.social and I are teaming up to get a little more serious about the idea of getting one together. We want to gather data on if there is interest in the community forms.gle/ZGqtYGj7V6q8... Please fill out and share to anyone!

Welcome to web components, Swift! 🤝

Surprisingly, in the last few months, my go-to library for building components became… @lit.dev. For its well-balanced abstraction that makes web components not feel like a chore. You should try it if you bounced off web components in the past or dread working on a custom element.

Really great write-up, and spoiler alert! ... MDN uses Lit to write their web components! 🔥😎 And they use Lit SSR to implement their own server components, and built their own component lazy-loader. Impressive work MDN!

Nice improvements to scoped custom elements registries!

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.

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 🚀

📣 We just published our End-of-Year / Happy Holidays Lit releases! - 👩‍⚕️ Many bug fixes! - 📄 A new lit-labs/forms packages for form-associated elements! - 🎾 A new Spring controller in lit-labs/motion! - 🏎️ Massive SSR performance improvements! - 🧩 A lit-html template parser in lit-labs/analyzer

📢 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!! 🚀

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 it’s 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 🌛

Lit is joining OpenJS as an Impact Project! 🔥 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! Learn more: hubs.la/Q03Np1Mm0

🚀 3.0.0-beta.5 🎨 Added color generation to Theme Builder (pro) 📐 <wa-icon> now works with @fontawesome.com 7 👀 Added <wa-intersection-observer> component 💬 Added the Hindi translation 🐛 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: dev.to/webpadawan/1...

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

MDN, Photoshop, Reddit, Firefox, Home Assistant, Internet Archive, Chrome DevTools... Some of my very favorite sites and apps are built with @lit.dev 🥰

@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.

Just released a form library for @lit.dev kin-form.deno.dev

👀

Here's a nice Lit tip 💡: 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!

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

So, I made a playground web component with @lit.dev using a font with built-in syntax highlightings. It made it so easy, thanks! blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-bu...

Are you new to Lit & need a jump start? Or are you a Lit veteran & can't quite remember that _one_ callback name? Well do we have the article for you! We've just published the Lit Cheat Sheet! An article that has a bunch of quick code snippets for all sorts of code patterns lit.dev/articles/lit...

👀 A Minecraft skin editor #builtWithLit!

I was reminded of my talk on async rendering with Lit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypPR... I think it's really useful if you're looking for analogs to React Suspense and such for web components. Independent WCs allow a lot of control over scheduling to make very responsive UIs - and interoperably!

Great pitch by @alexanderwilson.bsky.social on the use of #WebComponents and @lit.dev in #DesignSystems:

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

Oooh, we're going to have to try this in Lit's repeat() directive! State-preserving atomic moves will be *incredible* for focus, caret position in inputs, and hopefully not firing disconnected/connected callbacks!

Hello, world!

Working on a Form Associated Custom Elements helper library RFC for Lit. This should make it a lot easier to make correct and accessible form associated elements. I have the impl basically done too, so things should move quickly once we reach consensus on the API shape. github.com/lit/rfcs/pul...

We’re building out the component library for NYS’s new design system using Lit and web components. AMA

This is indeed the real Lit account. We'll get the handle moved to the lit.dev domain as soon as we can.

They are!
