24 Ways is back! That's how we web nerds know that the Christmas season is here. It kicked off this year with a most excellent bit of hardware hacking from Seb: Internet of Stranger Things.

The site is looking lovely as always. There's also a component library to to accompany it: Bits, the front-end component library for 24 ways. Nice work, courtesy of Paul. (I particularly like the comment component example).

The component library is built with Fractal, the magnificent tool that Mark has open-sourced. We've been using at Clearleft for a while now, but we haven't had a chance to make any of the component libraries public so it's really great to be able to point to the 24 Ways example. The code is all on Github too.

There's a really good buzz around Fractal right now. Lots of people in the design systems Slack channel are talking about it. There's also a dedicated Fractal Slack channel for people getting into the nitty-gritty of using the tool.

If you're currently wrestling with the challenges of putting a front-end component library together, be sure to give Fractal a whirl.
