shadcn-web: Web Components

Prerequisites

• This feature already exists in shadcn/ui - if not, it won't be considered here so don't continue with your issue.

Describe the feature

Thank you for your monumental effort in bringing this UI library to Svelte! Shadcn-Svelte is an incredible achievement, and your dedication is truly appreciated.

This isn’t a typical feature request but rather a suggestion to think bigger: Let’s leverage what this library already provides: a wide range of highly functional, style-able UI components. The idea is to make these components accessible to a much wider audience.

There has been ongoing discussion about creating a "standard components library" and whether 2025 might be the year of web components. Some projects, like Web Awesome, aim to fill this gap, but I think they fall short due to their premium, paid approach.

The demand is clear as stack owners and lead developers want to decouple from specific frameworks and embrace JavaScript and web standards, such as the Web Components API.

But why reinvent the wheel?

We already have an excellent component library in shadcn-Svelte, and the ability to compile Web Components from Svelte. Why not compile these components into Web Components and offer them as a standalone, framework-agnostic library?

This would not only attract the growing audience of developers seeking framework-agnostic solutions but also expand the reach of your work significantly, bringing it to the forefront of modern UI development. Indeed, this is where your work could have an exponential impact beyond svelte.

I don't have any plans to do this, however, I'd gladly include a link to such projects in the docs if someone would want to take it on.
