Many areas for sure, although there is the Lake District, the coasts of Cornwall, and so on which are fairly untransformed, so to speak. Looking at Great Britain overall, the Scottish Highlands of course come to mind, as well. I think your overall point stands though, farmlands and villages which are regarded as positive through the romantic lens nowadays are of course a man-made change to the whole ecosystem.

Many of the newer standards added to the web platform boil down to supporting development of web apps, not only web pages. For example, the current iteration of the File System API in Chrome (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...) allows web apps to request permission to read and write to the user's file system. This is great for many tools.

Of course, this can be fairly controversial: More app-like capabilities lead to more complex standards and harder-to-secure browsers. There's also overengineering where people use web app techniques to develop web pages. You don't need (much) JS or even any of the new standards for HN, but for something like Google Docs or Figma, it's a different story.

Shoelace is excellent, in my experience! Well document, accessible, and a large selection of components. To solve the issue you mention, you can cherry-pick the imports [1], which imports only the specific component you need.

It's not a living space but a data center, that is why there are no windows.

It's mostly a tool to manage research literature. It allows you to add works you are viewing in your web browser to collections. Then, you can create bibliographies from these collections. As a researcher I use it a lot, since it makes working with references much smoother. There's also extra features like cloud syncing and most recently an integrated PDF viewer and annotator. https://www.zotero.org/

Lit is very close to vanilla Web Components, but makes the standard more convenient to work with. Especially when used with TypeScript and a nice plugin such as lit-plugin [1], you get syntax highlighted and checked CSS + HTML, auto-completion in templates, and so on.

Also, the reactivity offered by Lit is something you could implement yourself using the standard lifecycle methods of custom elements, but is quite boilerplate-y. Overall, Lit gives you a better developer experience with fewer foot guns and boilerplate without much overhead.
