What is the right way to style an Elm application in 2023?
4 projects | /r/elm | 20 Apr 2023

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...)

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!
