Links with matching list positions across columns (first Demo ↔ first Repository) refer to the same project.

Catalog filter

An HTML Web Component (<catalog-filter>) that wraps a filter form and list. With JavaScript, filters items in-place by tier and category. Without JavaScript, the form submits as a GET request.

See the Work page for a live example.

Sortable table

An HTML Web Component (<sortable-table>) that wraps a table. Column headers become clickable sort controls. Works without JavaScript — the default sort is applied server-side.

See the Health page for a live example.

Copy button

An HTML Web Component (<copy-button>) that copies the content of a [data-copy-source] element to the clipboard. Hidden via :not(:defined) when JavaScript is unavailable.
