Hi lolive. In one sense, yes! Synergy and LitElement both seek to achieve the same primary goal, which is to make it easier to work with Custom Elements. Aside from that, the two projects are quite different in their approach.

In their technical approach? Could you elaborate on that point?

I haven't looked too closely at Lit source code recently so I couldn't really comment on that but, from a high level, they differ in the sense that lit uses render function (like react) that mixes HTML/JS whereas synergy separates the two between view/template. Neither is better or worse of course, its all about trade-offs and preferences. Lit elements are described with classes whereas synergy uses factory functions. Lit uses Shadow DOM by default, whereas synergy makes it optional.
