Do you love standards but hatehatehate the developer experience (DX) of web components? Me too.

As a reformed skeptic of Web Components due to his DX concerns, I encountered an interesting challenge at SuperTokens: creating a UI library that supports all the frameworks and remains future-proof. After some research, I discovered that SolidJS compiles to Web Components, offering a familiar, React-like developer experience — exactly what I needed to become a believer. After a couple of rounds of experimentation, I fell in love with (the idea of) web components.

This talk will share insights from my journey towards adopting Web Components for SuperToken’s next-gen authentication UI library and why web components are a great idea that’s here to stay.
