What is Component?
Component's philosophy is the UNIX philosophy of the web - to create a platform for small, reusable components that consist of JS, CSS, HTML, images, fonts, etc. With its well-defined specs, using Component means not worrying about most frontend problems such as package management, publishing components to a registry, or creating a custom build process for every single app.
Component is a tool in the Front End Package Manager category of a tech stack.
Component is an open source tool with GitHub stars and GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Component's open source repository on GitHub
