I've been experimenting with HTMX + Shoelace for the last few months. I'm really rooting for Shoelace/Web Awesome to thrive! Especially since Material Web seemed to quickly end up in maintenance mode, I'm hoping Web Awesome becomes the MUI of web components

And it is built with https://lit.dev a fantastic library !

This is really unfortunate to say the least - the engineering team has done a fantastic job there, but apparently no backing from Google despite the nice promise at the the launch of Material Web.

Polymer used to be Google's flagship for web components. Did a non-Google project take on that role?

I think there's some link between the two. Like Polymer was handed off to a new team/owner/governance model and was renamed to Lit in the process. Could be wrong, but that's what I've gathered.

HTMX and shoelace is an awesome combo. Super fast to prototype things and tweak as needed. Being able to copy paste snippets and directly inject data in a straightforward way is a nice way of working. It limits cognitive overhead so you can focus on the domain logic rather than fight javascript dependencies.
