I didn't understand it until I looked at the index.html source code example (code > words sometimes) and I think it's a thin wrapper around Web components https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_compone...

But don't quote me on that, I just use Vue for a living

This is correct. It's a wrapper around web components, kind of like Lit (which they credit in the acknowledgements).

Web components are cool, but the spec is bare. This means, a lot of rote work gets custom implemented. There are a lot of frameworks popping up, trying to "standardize" this.

Hyphen appears to one of these.

Thank you. That would be a great leading paragraph on their web page if anyone from the project is reading this.
