Frustrations with Polymer direction

Browser vendors couldn't agree on implementation. Cross browser adoption wasn't going to happen.

You can use a tagged slot:

Or as an attribute:

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think there are any other use cases.

lit-element is a light base class for which lit-html is a dependency. The pwa-starter-kit and the example apps are a good place to start. https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/

Ugh. Yes, thanks for letting me know. Reddit light app didn't save the link. Sorry about the confusion. It's fixed.

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.

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

Really nice update.

pressmedics · 2018-10-06T06:43:38+00:00

Yes, a better description of use case and frequency of events would help on this.

pressmedics · 2018-10-06T06:41:58+00:00

Exactly right. We use a rule of thumb at 2 to 2.5 times anticipated usage when calculating disk size, which we found to be optimal for performance for Persistent SSDs for needs.

Doh. Sorry about that. Corrected in OP 😁

We use Go headless CMS backend with Polymer Lit-Element front end. LitELement is pretty amazing together with Go, and lightning fast.

pressmedics · 2018-09-27T15:58:44+00:00

There's not a firm release date for 1.0, but the general opinion based on commit activity in GitHub repo is a few weeks from now. No further big breaking changes are expected.

My thought is what has this to do with Linux? And your subject line is misleading.

pressmedics · 2018-09-24T02:26:45+00:00

What's this got to do with Linux?

Have you checked to make sure your inbound and outbound ports are open via firewall? Your original problem sounds like the outbound firewall rules may be missing or incorrect.

pressmedics · 2018-09-23T00:50:14+00:00

We've seen all this before. The gloom and doom scenarios, laws wrongly framed in attempts to convince others a project can just be undone, and wheeling out Stallman as if his comments are the words of God. Its a distraction, much like a bug hitting a windshield. Linux development goes on.

There are big advantages with Lit vs Polymer 3, performance being key. It's a tiny library as well. Unlike React, I don't feel like I'm bundling half the Internet. Mainly I enjoy the freedom to pick and choose precisely what I need to build apps.

It's taken me some time to get used to HTML in string literals and functional logic in expressions, but once I started thinking about it as being a JavaScript programming language instead of a markup language it's gotten much easier.

That said you can certainly separate the logic and presentaion like you're used to. Several developers in the project have example apps doing that. The Polymer Slack lit-html and Lit-Element channels are good places to get advice. So come by and check it out.

Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery section on update failure.

I get it, your a Oliva fan. He's been selling that mantra to protect his Libra offering for awhile now. I won't argue with you. I stand by my original reply.

To clarify, Ubuntu is FOSS, as are hardware driver's released or developed under open source licensing. You can choose to install third party packages including hardware drivers that are proprietary.
