Love this idea. But can't really think of how it would be different from Web Components? 🤔

@jesperbylund1 Thanks! The Block Protocol enables us to do a bit more than WC's can (although you can build a block with WC). It adds on a standardised way for the block and the app its embedded in to talk to one another. A bit of a longer explanation is available here: https://github.com/blockprotocol... We need to do a better job of explaining that up front - working on improving the docs and landing page now :)

Embed any block anywhere on the web, using data from any source. Easily move data between applications without wrestling with APIs and custom integrations. View it any way you like in interactive blocks.

This looks great, I saw it a few days ago, via an email by Joel Spolsky in their post: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2... and I shared it in my network. https://twitter.com/vingar/statu...
