panda VS settle-down

- PandaCSS: https://panda-css.com/

KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

> CSS-in-JS is a non-starter

This used to be true, but there are new libraries like PandaCSS that bring CSS-in-build-time-JS, thus bringing Tailwind-like performance and React Server Components compatibility. https://panda-css.com/

Use https://panda-css.com/. It’s like ChakraUI but better and pretty similar so you don’t have to re-learn much. Definitely worth a try.

Check out Panda CSS. Created specifically to help style components without a css-in-js runtime. It was made by the creator of charka-ui. Been using it in one of my personal projects and I've really come to like it

from the creators of chakra ui, https://panda-css.com joins both great DX and great performance. I’m loving it

i'm very guilty of making entire sites with style="margin: 10px; padding: 10px; etc." every style I want right there inline. Inline styles FTW! I would always say: "I'm just getting it working and some css person can clean this up later."

Now I use tailwind and I've learned their wonderful little syntax for mr-x or p-y and it does feel a little like inline style days. But I do make this file https://github.com/andrewarrow/settle-down/blob/main/assets/... with some stuff so I can say like "btn-main" over and over.

Like all languages you can make a mess or make something wonderful. It's also really hard to remove your own bias from the project itself and the drama (or lackthereof). I happen to love go, honey moon started in 2016 and hasn't stopped for me yet. Today's commits: https://github.com/andrewarrow/settle-down/tree/main/app

Start at welcome_controller.go and follow the flow. Notice no structs for the sake of structs I make heavy use of map[string]any which serialized to json so nicely without as `json` modifiers.

Well it's strange what you discover when trying to code what you thought would be "simple." Hello HN, I want to show my new creation called "settle-down". It's a simple independent contractor with N clients invoice pdf creation tool.

I started down the PDF creation side using a PDF library with direct drawString, drawLine, etc. functions. But the complexities of using this library made me search github and I found:

https://github.com/TheFpiasta/BuisnessPDF

It's a very nice pdf invoice generation tool! But it just so happened to be in German and for German addresses and currency etc.

I forked it: https://github.com/andrewarrow/BuisnessPDF

And slowly but surely I found where I needed to add Address format changes and $ money symbol changes, etc. So without further ado I give you a free SaaS version available here:

And it's all open source if you don't want to use the SaaS version:
