Building Apps with Lit Element in 2026

I gave this talk twice this year, first at Capital One’s internal conference, Async Live, in April, then again at the RVA.js Meetup in August. It covers what it actually takes to build a real, production-shaped application with Lit: app shell structure, routing, dependency injection with @lit/context, async state with @lit/task, a ViewMixin pattern for standardizing pages, and signals for lightweight state management.

These are the slides from the RVA.js Meetup run, built with Slidev:

I also wrote up an expanded version of this talk as a blog post, with more explanation of each code sample than I had time for in my presentation:
