This is exactly what Web Components already do. Web Components are just HTML elements, and generally usable in any framework or with no framework.

Oh -- awesome! I've been focused on back-end and mobile the past few years. I guess it's time to dive into Web Components!

Check out https://www.webcomponents.org/
I'll need to update that with recent developments like: no one uses vanilla WebComponents, as they are unusable. Everybody uses any number of layers on top of them: Polymer, Angular, Stencil, whatever.

I've been trying to understand why I would use WebComponents over vue/react. Like, if you're going to use a layer on top of WebComponents, why not use something like Vue anyway. Their single file components allow you to compose your templates together <my-widget>Some slot content</my-widget> etc..
I'm struggling to see the use of Web Components. And how easily it's going to be to compose WebComponents in with your custom frameworks' components, I wonder how easy that is going to be (e.g. passing props down to a web component).
It seems that you'll still be better off just picking a framework for the next wee while anyway.
Still, I'll look forward to your updated article ;)
