impulse VS ODS_OpenExposureData

I you use Tailwind and React, you might like Impulse[1] (disclaimer: I made it and use it almost daily)

Not only does it provide means for visual editing (for Tailwind only), but it also saves all changes to your code.

Free and open source.

I've been working exclusively on this project for half a year and... I don't really know where it's going. One of the primary goals from the beginning was to make a product I could use for most of my UI work. And oh my God, have I achieved that. Having used Impulse regularly for months (including designing Impulse itself and impulse.dev), I can't imagine going back.

You can look at a few demo videos on the website https://impulse.dev/

Trying to design some elements intuitively, just by setting classes and seeing how it looks; also prototyping. With Impulse, I can just cycle through all possible font-sizes / margins / paddings / shades of a color / you name it. I've designed the whole impulse.dev website with that approach and I don't wanna go back, it's just so much faster and fun even compared to writing code on two monitors with 10 years of experience. :D

RMS never played nice on interoperability. I wouldn’t bet on the CDL to become a useful standard, because it is under-powered, under-specified and stagnant.

The “open” alternative is OASIS. Their Open Exposure Data standard [1] is complete and supported by many industry participants. Unfortunately it’s a database based format, rather than a text based DSL, but still betterthan the alternatives.
