The fact that custom elements can’t be redefined essentially makes them unusable within [Observable’s](https://observablehq.com) [reactive notebook environment](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/how-observable-runs). Our runtime is predicated on being able to re-evaluate cells whenever either the code in a cell changes, or a value it references changes. So, you can’t really use custom elements within Observable, because every time you change the code, you can’t cleanup the old definition before you re-evaluate the cell. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
