   This is such an elegant summary of why WCs are painful. I wish I had summarized it so well. I'm on the Video.js team and I wrote about my journey on this front as well [1]. [1]: https://www.mux.com/blog/6-years-bui

   Hey there, I'm on the Video.js team! Sounds like your context provider approach is already in the right ballpark! Some background: our store[1] which was inspired by Zustand[2] is created and passed down via context too. This is the ce

   I have that ticketed up for you [1], and I'll look into it tomorrow. Thank you! [1]: https://github.com/videojs/v10/issues/1120

   Hey there, on the Video.js team. What browser and version did you run into this on?

   It’s largely because (1) the React runtime is not bundled so it’s technically not apples to apples, (2) the Web Component includes CSS as well since we’re using Shadow DOM. Basically few kB for CSS and few kB for a thin “framework” layer fo

   We are designing with the goal of supporting more frameworks like Svelte and Vue specifically, even as far as React Native! We just don’t know when exactly yet but a large part of our approach in v10 is to make sure we can deliver the best

    Thank you! I’m on the Video.js team, and we’d love for you to try the library out and share your feedback. We’re especially eager to hear from developers who used or tried v8 in the past. We’re taking a new approach to the library with a lo

    Hey everyone! The motivation for this started with some initial exploration of how native captions are inconcistent and extremely limited with respect to positioning + styling across browsers. In addtion, existing captions work was glued in

    You're 100% right and I realized a little after writing it. Added `$root` to the library :)

    Thanks for all the feedback, love it! > I don't entirely understand what it means to dispose of observables, is that just an internal optimization for cleanups basically? Exposing an API for this feels a bit risky, like it feels eas

    Thanks for sharing that, I just put together one [0] but hard to extract meaningful data without running at least an average across X (~1k?) attempts. Nonetheless, it seems to perform extremely well based on surface metrics. [0]: https:&#x

    Thanks and love the feedback. I know the dev space is full of cliche and overused terms. It's tough to not use them even when you're aware. I don't see it as a hard rule to avoid them and I think in some cases it's okay.

    I started with that but then I thought about what if a callback or some other function is stored as an observable (i.e., like `useCallback`). Also, as fabiospampinato mentioned it's a cleaner seperation of get/set which makes it m

    Hey everyone! I put together a functional reactivity library that uses observable functions as it's primitive for tracking state and changes. It's super tiny (850B), fast, only re-computes the dirty parts of a computation tree, ba
