The value proposition of material-web was really convincing (accessible, high quality web-based component built on top of lit) and the dev team did an incredible job. It was killed even before they got a chance to release a full component set.
I love that the footer of this new Material 3 has a “web” link that leads to a project in maintenance mode. It was baffling to say the least to follow it
Highly recommend David Basis "Mathematica: A Secret World of Intuition and Curiosity" or "Mathematique, une aventure au coeur de nous-meme" in french.
For me, it has been a refreshing and profound way to reflect (and possibly better understand) on my own way to "think" (for instance when I build software architecture), and explore what might be happening in my head while doing so.

This is really unfortunate to say the least - the engineering team has done a fantastic job there, but apparently no backing from Google despite the nice promise at the the launch of Material Web.
I think there's some link between the two. Like Polymer was handed off to a new team/owner/governance model and was renamed to Lit in the process. Could be wrong, but that's what I've gathered.
Will check this out with a lot of interest when HN hugging will be over - we are building https://accessiblesurveys.com a survey tool for everyone. It tries to go beyond web accessibility standards (by including Sign language, Easyread versions or read aloud into forms).
