Oh these guys are gonna be pissed !!!

I looked up Shoelace…

I don’t know if it’s that or not…

Shoelace is using the very latest web stuff & looked super

Will be fun to watch how this evolves

@Tim found this where Shoelace can be downloaded:

Yes, it is

Shoelace seems that joined FontAwesome October 2022

So my guess is: the next version of Shoelace, with a new name (web awesome).

Really like the usage of Web Components instead of tons of nested <div> - looking at you Bootstrap!

Web components just seem so much easier than anything else

Agreed! When I converted Xanadu to PHP I used bootstrap for just about all the elements. They work great, but like you said they can be many levels deep in html tags.

I’ve been wanting to better organize / rewrite how Xanadu creates the controls but really didn’t have a good reason!

It’s at $224k right now…
