Web components are the future, and the future is coming to DrupalCon
April 5, 2019
It’s been about a year since Nikki and I HAX‘ed DrupalCon Nashville. Now, Mike and I are about to embark to DrupalCon Seatle to once again, HAX all the things. HAXeditor has come a really long way since the last reveal. In the time since last year:
- HAX started to be used in production settings here
- Our UI, capabilities, accessibility and design patterns have dramatically improved
- We built tooling that automates all the tooling, setup and management of Web component workflows
- Firefox adopted Web components natively and Edge said it’s going to be Chromium under the hood
- We made a WordPress plugin for HAX
- Gutenberg came out in WP5 and started ticking people off
- We released our own, headless CMS (HAXcms) that now powers HAXTheWeb.org

If you’d like to see what we’ve been up to and what we’re doing in the web components space (where we spend 99% of our day now), watch this video below that shows the theme layer in HAXcms and how it separates state from design.
