So last night, while recording the preview of Kitten’s¹ improved component model², I made a silly mistake (copying raw HTML into a JavaScript function instead of wrapping it in a kitten.html`` tagged template, easy to do when you’re refactoring to pull out components from pages).

Then, once I figured out what I’d done, I made another one by forgetting to return the value from the function (easy to do when you’re used to using one-line closures as render functions).

I would have caught both of those so much faster if Kitten had helpful error messages for those two pitfalls. And guess what, this morning, it does :)

Attached are screenshot showing the before and after error messages.

Enjoy!
