The failed promise of Web Components
20.10.2020
Lea has some words:

We’ve covered techniques before for when you want a full-width element within a constrained-width column, like an edge-to-edge image within a narrower column of text. There are loads of techniques.

Netlify Edge Handlers

Some very cool news from Netlify: Edge Handlers are in Early Access (request it here). I think these couple of lines of code do a great job in explaining what an Edge Handler is:

Danielle Romo covers the HTML pattern you need when you have a wordy <label> with fancy styling for an <input type="radio">.
