Re: Reusable Hydra components

Hi Lorenzo

Yes, Polymer. I have actually been fiddling with it lately and I have 
had some issues. Have got got some experience with Polymer in a project? 
Or Web Components in general?

I'm a little bit worried that the scripts are quite bulky, especially 
that you'll need the polyfill for quite some time. And even polyfilled 
the support isn't perfect. What do you think?

Thanks,
Tom
