#WebComponents caveat that may throw you if you don’t know about it: it’s very hard to slot elements in named slots while keeping the default slot empty, since any indentation will become blank slots, thus making the default slot have slotted nodes. 🤦🏽‍♀️

(Yes, manual slot assignment fixes this, but also throws the baby out with the bathwater. I wonder if detecting this case and removing the blank text nodes altogether might be better…)

Finally going public today with the project that's occupied my entire waking hours the last couple months, so I figured it's probably time to start actually posting things here again and getting involved.

I do miss Tweetbot though.

One of the biggest pain points for #designsystem teams is naming (components, patterns, tokens… anything).

Here are my most useful tips for naming design system things (part 1).
