    Some absolutely great work, but I don't know why you would come up with a new term for a server component (shard). Why not just use the obvious client/server annotations so you don't have to define a novel term for new users?

      Just needed a different name for it. What should it have been called? `#[component]` is not reachable from the client. We went with `#[shard]` to make it clear that it is different (callable from the client).
