Web Components and Material Design - A Powerful Duo for Modern Web Development

In the ever-evolving world of frontend development, we often find ourselves trapped in silos. You build a perfect Button component in React, following the design system specs to the pixel. But six months later, the company acquires a startup that uses Vue, or your team decides to migrate a legacy app to Angular.Suddenly, that perfect button is useless. You have to rebuild it. You have to "silo" your design system.This is the problem that Web Components solve. They are the W3C standard solution for interoperability. And when you pair them with Material Design, you get something truly powerful.Today, I want to explore how Web Components can structure your frontends into small, interoperable parts, and how toolkits supporting Material Design provide accessible, best-practice UI elements right out of the box.
