I'm composing a single-page application from several microservices 
back-ends. Each back-end should render a part of the page.

Right now I'm considering using webcomponents:

- main page is in Elm and subscribes to a websocket giving it the list of 
microservices it can get webcomponents from
- each microservice serves an html page containing the web component & its 
name
- the main page dynamically includes the webcomponent & uses its name to 
create the node in the DOM

This means that whenever I switch a microservice on the component appears 
on the page & it disappears when I switch the microservice off.

The reason I'm using webcomponents here is that I may include microservices 
written by third parties who do not necessarily want to be locked in using 
Elm, or any specific technology for that matter.

I therefore need two things :

(1) the ability to use webcomponents in Elm (I think this has already been 
covered, except maybe some conflicts between Elm's virtual DOM & the 
webcomponent's virtual DOM)
(2) the ability to write webcomponents in Elm.

I'm not too sure about number 2: what I've seen in the list so far is 
mainly interest in using webcomponents but not so much in writing them. 
Does anybody have more information on this? Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!
