landing-gear VS hypernova

That's the future Shoelace is helping bring about and I think it's a really nice minimally, and paradoxically simple way to build webpages that have the functionality you want without the hassle of heavier frameworks, if you're lucky to find just the right component to spice up your page.

I will say that it's hard to execute cleanly on this vision and it looks like Shoelace is doing a pretty good job -- I made a small contribution to this space[0], and I have to say that getting started with my project is much less clean (as far as dogfooding goes it was functional but didn't taste great!).

Looking forward to trying out Shoelace in the future.

Also heavy mention to tailwind -- the class soup bit is annoying but it's sparked an absolute explosion of reusable templates which I think are helping people build better looking sites faster than ever before. Just like with Bootstrap, of course, we're all getting tired of seeing really similar design elements but the acceleration is probably a net good, even if it requires abusing CSS a little bit.

it's not quite impossible, there are some more "out there" server-side rendering approaches which would work:

- https://github.com/prerender/prerender

Fans of efficiency and simplicity might recoil but if it works and is easy to setup, these far out approaches might just catch.

Let's look at a example. The following figure shows an architecture using Hypernova for Micro Frontends.
