I just recently came across web components as I worked on rewriting my site for compatibility with zola. I found a cool javascript audio player tutorial using web components. Now I think they may be useful but I want to explore them a bit more before I decide. They might be useful for my school listening app in terms of improving the playback for the individual sentences for my stories. I could improve it so students could stop and start each sentence in the middle of the sentence and drag to the right place in the sentence audio. I can do that now but it is not convenient.
also I might explore the framework (?) lit.js for a streamlined way to make the components. But first is learning the components.
