ellie VS elm-ui

Sorry I'm not being helpful (in that, I dont have a solution for you) but it would be great if you could put this up as a working demo on Ellie (https://ellie-app.com/).

There is an online editor, named Ellie, to play with the language without the need to install anything on your machine. Ellie permits to install dependencies for your code, so you can prototype an entire project with it.

After that point I started looking into how Elm works from the web dev perspective with resources like Elm in Action and Frontend Masters courses (first working in ellie-app-for-elm-dev then upgrading to vite-elm-template).

I can still give you some pointers here. First I'd suggest you read the elm guide: https://guide.elm-lang.org/ It's the best place to start with elm. When you have a question about any specific subject, you should head to the slack, or ask a question on the elm discourse: https://discourse.elm-lang.org/ . The best way to get a useful answer, is to have a concrete question, and to prepare an example of what is wrong on Ellie (https://ellie-app.com). As such people can modify your Ellie to answer you.

You can paste it to Ellie for testing

https://builtwithelm.co/ lists some, but not sure what you consider large.

Not sure if you would categorize this as dev tool https://github.com/erkal/kite

And ellie certainly might be a dev-tool, but not a toy https://github.com/ellie-app/ellie

It's been a few years, but last time I built a non-trivial Elm app, I used elm-ui. Otherwise, I've used either vanilla CSS with the Meyer reset (am I dating myself?) or SCSS.

"clean" means you are used to it. ELM is a totally new language (not like JS and TS) based on a paradigm (functional programming) that you are probably not used to. And it is based on the ML type system (different from what you are used to). So it is a lot of new things at once. "Reinventing the wheel" is an unfortunate side-effect of using a different way to do things. Some things can be copied verbatim, some are totally different. Check out "elm-ui" (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/) for a very different and refreshing view in UI code in ELM (that will appeal to the mostly-backend developers in your workplace).

I use Elm for my project. Once you accept thinking the way it wants you to, it's a delight to develop front-end with it.

Side advantage, Elm-UI frees you from CSS: https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/late... it's like Tailwind but deeply intertwined with the language.

The last advice I could give is to try elm-ui (https://github.com/mdgriffith/elm-ui) for your user interface. It's amazing how great that is compared to traditional ways of building a frontend layout.

The library elm-ui makes it easy to create a nice user interface. I am unaware of anything similar for Rust+WASM, so I would have been forced to deal with HTML and CSS.

There are several things named elm-ui. It's the author of a different library than what is usually understood when someone refers to elm-ui (which is https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/late...)

Foregoing CSS all together by using a different approach to UI construction (elm-ui)

Right now I'm just using the built in from the UI library I used for the sake of ease as I didn't find a perfect solution and it seemed good enough for now: Github Link to source, which it looks like would classify your laptop as a tablet, whoops!
