Description
Our guest in this episode is Cory LaViska, the founder of Shoelace — a component library that makes it easy to build performant, mobile-friendly websites using CSS grids and custom elements APIs.

Cory also touches on the benefits and challenges of modern web standards and the importance of keeping up with industry trends.
