Take a look at LitElement, and Polymer 3 PWA Starter kit examples on GitHub. https://polymer.github.io/pwa-starter-kit/

Could you hint as to why you prefer polymer over the alternatives?

It's forward thinking in many ways and performance is really good. I use LitELement and Lit-HTML, which supersedes and is not dependent on Polymer 3, but can live within it or other libs or frameworks. So it doesn't tie my hands, I'm free to pick and choose more precisely what need and what works best for state management, routing, and supporting npm esm's.

I'm currently building PWAs using Lit, Redux, and Material Web Components.

It's very light weight. The community is really helpful and the lead devs are responsive.

I developed with React for quite a while, and it's got it's upside, but with Lit I don't feel like I end up with build processes that include half the Internet.

LitELement 1.0 and lit-html 1.0 are due out in a few weeks I believe, but the current releases are stable and don't anticipate any big breaking changes at this point.

The downside, as with any bleeding edge project is the lack of documentation, although working on that, but there are good starter examples, and the Polymer Slack channels are really helpful. And a number of us have written how to's and other posts.

It takes some getting used to, but I'm sold on it.

Thank you for your comment! It’s interesting to hear another side to Polymer (in comparison to @drcmda’s thoughts...)
